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: Interview Questions

1 Reply

Tell me about a time where your analysis didn’t yield the results you were expecting. What did you learn from the experience?

This question aims to evaluate your problem-solving skills and how you handle failure or unexpected results. Your potential employer wants to assess your metacognition, or in other words, your ability to analyze your own methodologies and learn from them. When answering, you should focus on three main points:

Describe a specific scenario where your analytical efforts did not yield the expected results. Make sure that this is a professional context.
Explain how you responded to the gap between your expectations and the actual outcome. What were your immediate steps?
Articulate what you learned from the situation. The key here is to showcase your ability to take away valuable lessons from your failures and apply them in future tasks.

Answer Example
In my previous role as a Data Analyst at Company X, I was tasked with predicting the five-year sales forecast for one of our new products. I collected and analyzed data over several weeks, used sophisticated tools, and felt very confident about my forecast. However, six months later, real-world sales were significantly lower than my prediction.

My immediate response was to review my model. I checked each detail meticulously and found that I had heavily relied on certain variables that, in hindsight, were not consistent market indicators. It was a painful realization, but I learned from it.

I took two main lessons away from this experience. Firstly, the importance of questioning all preconceived assumptions when designing an analytical model. And, secondly, the merit of incorporating feedback loops into my work. Back then, I worked in a more closed-off manner, but I’ve since started interacting more with field staff and other departments, which holds the potential to give additional context and validation to my work.

This question aims to understand how you use your unique skills and knowledge to bring value to an organization. It provides you with an opportunity to illustrate that you have ideas and innovative solutions and can enhance the organization’s growth and success. When preparing your response, think of a situation in which you utilized an innovative idea or solution that brought measurable value to your previous or current organization. Specifically, the elements you should focus on while answering this question include: an explanation of the idea, the problem it solved or the opportunity it capitalized on, the value it brought to the organization, especially if you can quantify this in some way and the role you played in the implementation.

Tips For Job Seekers: Too good to be true

1 Reply

I occasionally apply for jobs to gain valuable insights for my students, assist them in their pursuit of better positions, or expand my knowledge in a specific field. By nature, I am very curious, and I consider that information is everything in this day and age.

As a result, I applied for the position of (freelance) AI tutor, citing my fascination with the AI field.
The position entails training the AI to give more accurate responses, writing, and researching. I was instantly charmed. Also, I need all the information I can get for my AI training class (Mastering AI for Corporate Employees).

In addition, the AI tutor position entails correcting the AI responses and preventing hallucinatory behavior, which is a dream task for me. But, …

A week after submitting my application, I received an invitation to take a grammar test, a research ability test, and an AI query. Hmmmm. 
For someone who has been teaching English-speaking skills for a considerable amount of time, has developed custom syllabuses about English grammar, and regularly practices every aspect of the language, the prospect of a grammar test seems somewhat unrealistic. The recruitment process in bulk raised the first red flag.

In my humble opinion, the role of an AI tutor is highly specialized, requiring a highly descriptive skill set specific to professionals. The grammar test felt very odd. Moreover, companies that require longer tests frequently use the free work of applications for their own purposes. 

The second red flag was the extremely low pay for a highly creative freelance job. 
This piqued my curiosity, prompting me to conduct a thorough investigation into the company. I discovered that the most commonly associated keyword with this company was “scam.” I guess I passed the research skills test. 

I did my research, and, guess what? On Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit there are a lot of negative comments. I might say that the majority are negative comments concerning the lack of feedback from the company, the meager pay which is even lower in practice, the lack of available tasks.

Some commenters state that they have been working for the company, but the pay is much more inappropriate for their work and skills. They also claim that they were asked to take a test, failed it, and were then given very low-paying tasks to complete.

Lesson learned: Conduct considerable research on the company in question, even if it seems to be a dream position for you. It will save you a significant amount of time and positive thinking resources.
