With a question like this, the interviewer hopes to grasp your forward-planning skills. Bear in mind that hiring managers are typically risk averse, so an answer like 'a week,' is too short to inspire confidence. Planning your narrative at least a month in advance means you can take a few sick days without the entire social media apparatus crashing and burning.

"I like to get an overarching idea for the general topics we'll be covering at the top of every year. Then, I prepare a specific content calendar about a quarter in advance. Finally, I aim to have posts scheduled about a month in advance so that there's some wiggle room and the pipeline of content never stops."
