TIPS FOR JOB SEEKERS: Tough Interview Questions

TIPS FOR JOB SEEKERS

Imagine you’re a PM for Spotify. How would you increase revenue 5 times in the next 5 years?

This question clearly asks you to put yourself in the shoes of a Product Manager for Spotify and propose a growth strategy to quintuple the company’s revenue in the next five years. At first, the question may seem intimidating as it requires strategic thinking, understanding of the business and its audience, as well as product development.
Here are key points to consider while answering the question:

User base growth: Finding ways to increase the number of users on the platform.
Increasing revenue per user: Looking for ways to increase the amount each user pays.
Partnership and collaborations: Exploring strategic partnerships that could lead to revenue growth.
New revenue streams: Introduction of new features or exploring other possible sources that could generate income.
The key to answering this question is to clearly articulate your strategy to grow each part of the business and demonstrate a good understanding of the company’s current user base, potential customers and business context.

Answer Example
Increasing user base: Spotify could penetrate into new geographies, targeting countries with strong potential in the digital music market that Spotify currently doesn’t serve. This would involve understanding the music preferences, payment infrastructure, legal and copyright landscapes of these potential markets.

Improving User monetization: We can increase revenue from existing users by creating new premium features. For example, by introducing a special feature allowing users to attend virtual concerts or exclusive artist meet-ups, which users can get access to by paying extra.

Strategic Partnerships Could mainly function in two ways: firstly, partnering with mobile or internet service providers; offering Spotify as part of value-added services can help reduce the cost barrier that is often associated with the subscription model. Secondly, partnerships with artists; by launching exclusive music or concert releases could also attract their committed fan base to our platform.

New Revenue Streams: Spotify can consider introducing a platform for independent artists to connect with fans, where artists can host live shows, premier new songs, and earn revenue through fan donations. This not only encourages new and upcoming talent but also acts as a new revenue channel for Spotify, taking a small commission per transaction.

Tips For Job Seekers

My eyes were charmed by an interesting job opening fully remote and full of creativity and imagination.

When I clicked on apply, two red flags appeared.
The form required the following fields:
Birth date and current salary.

My CV can tell my age, but not my birthdate.
Moreover, I never disclose my current salary, earnings, or income, not even in an informal meeting.
Your interviewer has the right to inquire about your current salary, but this should not form the foundation of the hiring process. It is highly irregular to ask for such information upfront before the interview, in my opinion. 
If you had to include these in the application form, would you apply?

Trending Topics/ Web Scraping

We are launching a new column: Trending Topics, which garner significant attention in internet searches lately. 

Web Scraping
The process of extracting data from websites, either manually or automatically using bots or web crawlers. Web scraping techniques include HTML parsing, DOM parsing, XPath, and API interactions, with tools like BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, Selenium, and Puppeteer commonly used.

Tips For Job Seekers

I reiterate my previous statement:
I would not recommend anyone undertake work that requires more than 3 hours to complete. I’ve noticed that companies that require these types of extremely complex tasks tend to engage in extensive recruitment. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it appears that they view LinkedIn as an untapped source of free resources, exploiting the eagerness and desperation of applicants to secure employment. Which is highly unethical.
So, in conclusion, if you have a stellar CV and a wonderful portfolio, there is no need to prove yourself more by working tirelessly for free.

I am not the typical job seeker; I sometimes apply for (part-time) positions to gain insight into a certain field of interest to me and to help my students, whom I train, to render stellar performance in job interviews. 

One time, I applied because I loved the field and didn’t mind the extra work. I am an overachiever.
They requested a fully developed marketing strategy and an editorial plan for social media, which comprised articles and posts for one month. 
This entailed a full week of work and extensive research. I did this because I loved the job. And to my surprise, I received no feedback. Later, I saw my ideas shared on their website and social media accounts. Their claims of being ethical and respecting their employees astonished me, as I do not believe they treat their employees better than applicants. 

Within two months, I have noticed a new job posting for this role in this company. 

Conclusion
Focus on all activities that can enhance and validate your experience and skills.
Rewrite your CV and Cover letter
Rework your LinkedIn profile
Update your Portfolio.
If that is possible, ask for referrals and move on.

If you need help, I am here.

Can you provide some examples of medieval literature that are still popular today? What sets these works apart from others in terms of their continued relevance?

Beowulf

Beowulf, heroic poem, the highest achievement of Old English literature and the earliest European vernacular epic. The work deals with events of the early 6th century, and, while the date of its composition is uncertain, some scholars believe that it was written in the 8th century. Although originally untitled, the poem was later named after the Scandinavian hero Beowulf, whose exploits and character provide its connecting theme. There is no evidence of a historical Beowulf, but some characters, sites, and events in the poem can be historically verified. The poem did not appear in print until 1815. It is preserved in a single manuscript that dates to circa 1000 and is known as the Beowulf manuscript (Cotton MS Vitellius A XV).

Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.

The movie The 13th Warrior (1999) is based on Michael Crichton’s novel and of course, on the tale of Beowulf.

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight
(Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, Middle English alliterative poem of unknown authorship, dating from the second half of the 14th century (perhaps 1375). It is a chivalric romance that tells a tale of enchantment in an Arthurian setting. Its hero, Sir Gawayne (Gawain), is presented as a devout but humanly imperfect Christian who wins a test of arms, resists temptation by a lord’s wife, but succumbs to an offer of invulnerability.

The Green Knight, a movie from 2021, was based on it.
