Hi friends I have a coffee chat with an OOH company this coming week. I’ve never done one before and I’m still entry level in marketing but I’m trying to look for a new opportunity so I can grow in my career. The company I’m currently at won’t let me move up or take on any new projects. I’m wondering what I should prepare for or ask at the coffee chat? It’s marketing related

I would ask questions like: how is the business doing, whats exciting in the industry right now, whats the upcoming opportunity for success, etc. Ask positive style questions exploring the business.

I would also ask about the top 3 challenges and what type of candidate they are looking for ; lastly, they might very well ask you about yourself(example : how would you describe yourself?). Have a well rehearsed and sincere pitch ready ; best of luck !

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
