Marketing Partnerships Coordinator Interview
I interviewed at PGA TOUR
Interview
There were 5 questions asked to me, then an opportunity to ask questions back to the interviewers. I was asked about myself and my experiences and why I wanted the role. Then we talked about a situation where I had to solve conflict.
- What would you recommend the TOUR do based on your experiences elsewhere?
This is a classic guesstimate question where you need to think aloud. And so first off you round the U.S. population to 300 million people (its actually about 315 million but rounding will be much easier and your interviewer will not score you lower for rounding). Then estimate how many people eat pizza. A decent educated guess is two out of every three people, or 200 million. Now lets say the average pizza-eating person eats pizza twice a month, and eats two slices at a time. Thats four slices a month. If the average slice of pizza is perhaps six inches at the base and 10 inches long, then the slice is 30 square inches of pizza. So, four pizza slices would be 120 square inches (30 times 4). Since one square foot equals 144 square inches (12 times 12), lets assume that each person who eats pizza eats one square foot per month. Since there are 200 million pizza-eating Americans, 200 million square feet of pizza are consumed in the U.S. each month. To summarize: 300 million people in America, 200 million eat pizza, average slice of pizza is six inches at the base and 10 inches long or 30 square inches, average American eats four slices of pizza a month, four pieces times 30 square inches equals 120 square inches (one square foot is 144 square inches), so lets assume one square foot per person, and thus one square foot times 200 million people equals 200 million square feet of pizza a month.
If youre applying with other similar companies in a similar or the same industry, its actually okay to state that as it shows youre valued and wanted.

Q&A with Recruiter, JP Darbouze Q:
Before we started using video interviewing, the team was conducting phone interviews with each and every candidate. For our summer internship program, we had 200+ candidates. We invited these candidates to a one-way video interview on Spark Hire and ended up hiring 22 interns for the summer from the process.
By implementing Spark Hire into our hiring process, not only did we save countless hours, but also thousands of dollars in travel costs.
This was also the second video interviewing platform we tried out. Previous to Spark Hire, we used a different platform. We ended up replacing it with Spark Hire because we only do seasonal hiring. Q:
The biggest selling point for the team was simply seeing how much time and money we could be saving. We started talking about how costly it was for us to fly in so many potential candidates without ever meeting them first.
That alone was enough for us to give video interviewing a try. Q:
Taking the anonymity out of the phone interview has been pretty huge for us. By video interviewing all of our candidates, we are now able to properly vet them. Not only does it allow us to put a face with a name on our end, but it also allows every candidate the ability to get familiar with our team as well.
As we previously mentioned, we’ve really been able to Improve our screening efficiency by adding video interviewing to our hiring process. Q:
It’s honestly a no brainer. Every organizations HR team is always trying to save time and money. Speeding up your interview process is the easiest and most effective way to do this.
We initially looked into video interviewing because we wanted a one-way video interviewing platform so we could get in contact with a large amount of candidates. I’d assume there are so many other people out there trying to accomplish the same thing. Q:
I really love Spark Hire’s video interviewing platform because of it’s ease of use. The user interface is just so user friendly and there is also a tag functionality that helps the team sort through all of the candidates we have in our database.
The other thing I love about video interviewing is the face to face interaction with candidates. You don’t realize how beneficial it is to see every candidate until you have the ability to see them at every step of the process. Q:
