Your practice track for Social & Influence Manager
at Cheil Philippines
What this interview covers
Interviewers for Social & Influence Manager roles at Cheil Philippines typically test across 4 areas:
Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Some Filipino candidates might say 'Pasensya na po, sir' or mix Tagalog and English excessively even when the brand voice is English. Instead, maintain a professional tone: 'We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Kindly send us a direct message so we can assist you right away.'
- ▸ Avoid saying 'Sige, bahala na siya' (Just let her do whatever). Instead, emphasise a balance of structure and creative freedom: 'I provided a clear brief but also asked for her input to make sure the content resonated with her followers.'
- ▸ A common mistake is saying 'Pareho lang naman caption, i-aadjust ko na lang' (I'll just adjust the same caption). Instead, articulate strategic differences: 'On Facebook, I would use a detailed caption and customer testimonials; on Instagram, I'd prioritise visually striking carousel posts; and on TikTok, I'd create an engaging short-form video highlighting key features.'
- ▸ Don't just say 'Kasi gusto ko lang mag-work sa Samsung' (Because I just want to work for Samsung) or give generic flattery. Instead, demonstrate specific knowledge: 'I admire how Samsung Philippines highlights Filipino creators and local mobile photography trends, and I would love to contribute to campaigns like the Galaxy Campus Student Ambassadorship.'
