There was a Social Media IQ Test included as part of the application process, which featured a range of questions assessing practical knowledge of social media. These questions covered areas like platform-specific best practices, understanding audience engagement strategies, trend identification, content performance metrics, and how to tailor content for different platforms. It was designed to gauge how well applicants understand the fast-changing digital landscape and apply that knowledge in real scenarios
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Smart Local (Singapore)
Interview
The interview process at The Smart Local was fairly straightforward and casual. As part of the process I also had to submit a one-minute video introducing myself. The questions were quite interesting and focused a lot on ideas, creativity and how I would approach different types of content, which made it one of the more memorable interviews I've done. Its been some time so the details might not be 100% accurate but this is based on what I still remember from the process.

Question 1
