Your practice track for Business Development Associate
at ByteDance (TikTok)

Philippine-specific tips for this role

• ▸ A common mistake is over-using Taglish like "Sobrang dami kong ginawa para ma-close yung deal, pero na-ghost ako." Instead, focus on specific actions and results in English, e.g., "I followed up consistently and provided tailored marketing materials, which eventually secured their commitment."
• ▸ Some candidates might say, "Nakipag-negotiate ako pero ang hirap kasi ayaw nila pumayag, so nag-ask ako ng tulong." This sounds passive. Instead, demonstrate ownership: "I assessed their objections, tailored a proposal with flexibilities, and secured their participation."
• ▸ Sometimes candidates explain vaguely: "Chineck ko yung campaign, parang may mali, so inayos ko." Instead, specify what was checked and what was fixed: "I reviewed click-through and conversion rates, identified a weak livestream strategy, and provided practical improvements."
• ▸ Avoid saying "Gusto ko lang kasi sikat ang TikTok." Instead, show specific engagement: "I've watched how TikTok Shop's algorithm surfaces niche fashion brands and I'm excited to help sellers leverage that."
