What can I expect from a Public Relations Coordinator position over the phone interview?

Question

specifically, for a hotel in las vegas

Answer 1

One of the hardest questions someone asked me once was.

If I give you a paper clip give me 25 uses besides holding paper or money with it. I had 30 seconds to answer it.

Answer 2

If you've never done public relations work, you are in way over your head.  And for that position, they can ask you all sorts of off the wall questions.  They want to see how you handle yourself, how eloquent you are and how you think on your feet.  Of course they will ask you the standard questions about your background and what makes you qualified, but be prepared for unusual questions as well.

Answer 3

Any type of "Coordinator" position can entail a wide range of whatever they need extra help with.  The most important thing you will need to score this job is that you can keep your cool, think well on your feet, can multi-task, work well with others, and have a can-do attitude.  While you don't want to have all your answers be "I'll have to check on that and get back to you", there is nothing with saying that you don't know as long as you let them know you will do whatever it takes to find out.  Can you make a few cold calls to people holding similar positions and ask them for some tips?  Good luck to you.
