Marketing/Sales fresher here — feels like all interview prep content assumes you're a software engineer

RoleMarketing Executive

Not sure if others in non-technical roles feel this too, but every interview prep resource I find is written for software engineers — DSA, system design, coding rounds. I'm prepping for marketing/sales roles and most of it just doesn't apply to me at all.

What I've actually found useful instead:

  • Practising explaining real campaign/project numbers out loud — turns out "it went well" is not a real answer and I only realized how often I was saying vague stuff like that after recording myself.
  • The "why this role, why us" question comes up constantly and generic answers get picked apart fast. Had to actually sit down and connect specific things I've done to what the role needs, instead of a canned answer.
  • Used the AI mock interview and picked Marketing Executive as the role — it's honestly the first prep tool I've found that asks role-relevant questions instead of generic ones or, worse, coding questions that have nothing to do with what I'm interviewing for.

Still feel like there's way less community content for non-software roles compared to SDE prep. Anyone else in Sales/Marketing/Ops/HR roles — what's actually worked for you, and where are you finding good prep material that isn't secretly written for engineers?
