Twenty-year veteran Christie Cordes, founder of Ad Recruiter—whose stellar list of clients includes Sony, Jaguar and Xbox/Microsoft—shares her five essential questions.

Can you tell me which social communication platforms you participate in and what you find useful or unique about each?

That allows the employer to suss out a candidate’s social media prowess and assess whether they consider and value social tools as an additional useful means to communicate. It also reveals to what extent a potential recruit keeps up with new and changing platforms.

How do you stay informed about what’s going on in global culture, and where do you feel is a good place/resource to identify emerging societal trends?

Infinite curiosity is a necessary skill for any position.
