Community Advocate Interview Question:

Please explain me about a time that you had to advocate on behalf of someone else?

Submitted by: Administrator

A major part of the community manager role is advocating on behalf of users, so this question should be a no brainer for anyone you intend to hire. This is also a good question to ask folks who might be transitioning in from another field, as there should be many transferable situations at top of mind ranging from defending younger siblings from bullies to helping a teammate get a promotion. Pay particularly close attention to how they describe the way that they went about pursuing a good outcome - this can be very telling, particularly in its absence.
