Do not send a novel. Short answers please. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” —Attributed to Albert Einstein
The Questions
1. What’s the real, ultimate purpose of social media for a company? Why?
2. Evaluate our current social media presence. What is working well? What would make it even better? Background information to help you evaluate:
- Priacta is the parent company. Priacta sales are smaller but serve as a pipeline for connecting with leaders that need empowering leadership transformations.
- The Neverboss book is our keystone resource for explaining our empowering leadership transformation services, which are our current main sales emphasis.
- Kevin Crenshaw is our CEO and The Instant COO. We envision The Instant COO becoming a title and trademark shared by many people, kind of like The Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride.
- We literally have hundreds of concepts, methods, principles, articles, video scripts, and podcasts just waiting to be extracted, posted, or shared.
3. What social media platforms should matter most to our company? Why? Which common ones should we ignore? Why?
4. Which tools do you prefer for our social media and follower management and growth? Why? What are the drawbacks in those tools and how would you work around them?
5. How exactlty will you measure if your social media efforts here are “working?”
6. We deliberately placed typos and other errors and ommissions on these hiring pages (the first and second interview pages). How many can you find. What are they, exactly? How should they be corrected?
6. Tell us about content distribution and its value or lack of value in our strategy. How can we best leverage the content we create with the least effort?
7. Prove that you are an excellent adaptive copywriter/editor for social media posts. We especially prize the ability to mimic someone’s writing voice. See Kevin Crenshaw’s LinkedIn posts and craft a pertinent LinkedIn post that matches his style. Suggestion: take a @kcren Twitter post that isn’t duplicated on LinkedIn and turn it into an engaging LinkedIn post (a post, not an article).
8. What are your hourly (10-20 hrs/week, contractor) compensation: a) survival NEEDS, b) starting TARGET for this position, and c) realistic GOAL within 2 years? (You must provide numbers, but we ask for these ranges to make it fair and easier.)
9.NOW, if you have a resume, you may attach it to your answers. This is optional. OR send us a link to your LinkedIn profile instead, if that is complete.
