How To Get Hired At A Top SEO Agency Part 3: Rocking The Interview

You did it! You got an interview at the SEO agency of your dreams! Since you’ve started reading this series you now know the main things they are looking for in a SEO , you’ve mastered the SEO skills that most are lacking, and now you just need to nail the interview. A big fear for most people being interviewed is getting stumped by the questions they ask.

Well fear no longer!  We asked our panel of SEO experts what questions they ask the most when interviewing people for SEO positions.

I like to ask SEO candidates to explain how search engines work and to get into as much detail as possible. How they describe servers, crawlers, bots, sites, content, links, etc. tells me a lot about their core knowledge and their perception of the industry.

If you could get an SEO tool built that doesn’t exist right now what would it be?

Bonus follow-up question: why hasn’t anyone built that already?

People don’t have to be technical to answer this but it shows great critical thinking as well as a good knowledge of the industry as it is right now.

Define canonicalization- 90% of applicants say “Something that happens at the Vatican?” or “a meta tag?”

What SEO ideas do you have for (site XYZ.com)?  Hopefully the site of the company you are interviewing for.

 

Wil Reynolds        Google + | Twitter

My favorite SEO question on an interview-probably this one: “When is last time you did something for the first time?”

Rand Fishkin        Google + | Twitter

I asked Rand of SEOmoz to participate in our SEO series, but he politely declined because they are a software company these days. Which means they don’t hire SEO’s much anymore, but I was not going to let that slow me down. I found this great video of Rand explaining what questions he would ask in an interview for a SEO position.

Your Thoughts?

What questions do you think are best to ask in an SEO interview?

Stay Tuned- Next time we’ll hear examples of what not to do during an interview.

The Ultimate Guide To Enterprise SEO: 25 Things To Know Before You Take The Plunge

SEO Positive Partners With Bournemouth Nursing & Residential Home

SEO Positive has announced the acquisition of a search engine optimisation contract with Windsor Court Care, a family owned nursing and residential home servicing the heart of Dorset.

(PRWEB UK) 31 January 2012

Windsor Court Care is a registered nursing and residential home based just a short walk outside of Bournemouth town centre. The premises provides 59 residents with first-class care in a welcoming and homely setting, accommodating guests with specific healthcare needs yet allowing occupants their own personal space and privacy at all times.

The management team at the company approached SEO Positive in late 2011 searching for an SEO agency that would help them realise their dream of becoming the first stop for nursing care in the region. Windsor Court Care was already carrying out a great deal of offline marketing yet wanted to raise their profile even further by boosting their search engine ranking positions for relevant search terms.

After the initial consultation and several informal discussions, SEO Positive was able to put together a strong, highly localised SEO strategy that appealed to the nursing home’s objectives and budget.

Dave Damhar, Senior Account Manager at SEO Positive and the SEO specialist taking charge of the client’s entire campaign, is excited to begin work with Windsor Court Care and believes that a well-executed search engine optimisation campaign will work wonders for their online presence and increase their turnover significantly.

“Windsor Court Care already has a fantastic reputation and standing within the community and is known as one of the best nursing homes in Bournemouth, so it’s only natural that they now want to expand their reach and market their services to a wider yet still largely localised audience,” Dave explains. “We will be dedicating as much time and resources to the project as possible to ensure the organisation achieves high positions within a realistic timeframe.”

SEO Positive was established in 2007 in Chelmsford, Essex with the aim of bringing effective yet affordable online marketing services to companies from all industries and backgrounds. The company offers a huge range of services including search engine optimisation, Pay Per Click account management, social media marketing and online reputation control.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Review: Effective Antimalware Performance

PCWorld Rating

4.0 / 5 - PCWorld, Jan 30, 2012

Pros

Low impact on PC performance Strong protection against malicious software

Cons

Bottom Line

The Kaspersky security suite's on-access scans could be faster, but it’s very good at detection and blocking.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 ($80 for one year and three PCs as of January 25, 2012) ranked fourth in our 2012 roundup of security suites. Although it finished outside the top three, it's a solid all-around suite that will do an effective job at keeping you safe.

In our real-world malware blocking tests, Kaspersky's suite fully blocked all samples that it encountered. This result means that it should do very well in protecting you from brand-new, as-yet unknown malware. In addition, it detected 99.34 percent of known malware samples in more-traditional signature-based detection tests. On its own, that's a great showing--but believe it or not, that's merely an average result this year due to the overall strength of 2012's suites.

False positives are largely a nonissue: Kaspersky’s product misidentified only one safe file out of a pool of 250,000 files as dangerous. And the suite was effective at disinfection, detecting and disabling all sample infections on our test PC. It removed all traces of malware 60 percent of the time, performing slightly above average in that regard.

In general the Kaspersky suite has a low impact on PC performance, though it did slow our test machine a fair amount when we copied files over a network: It took 3 minutes, 34 seconds to complete this test, landing well behind the average of 3 minutes, 2 seconds.

It was faster than average, however, at scanning. It completed an on-demand scan (which runs when you manually click the 'Scan Now' button) of 4.5GB of data in 1 minute, 11 seconds--the third-best showing, and a considerably better result than the average of 1 minute, 59 seconds for the suites we looked at. It wrapped up on-access scanning (which kicks off when you open or save a file) of 4.5GB of data in 4 minutes, 40 seconds, about 8 seconds faster than average.

On the rest of our speed tests, Kaspersky finished either around average or above average as compared with its competition.

Kaspersky gave its software a face-lift in 2012, abandoning the curiously divided interface in last year's suite. While the new interface is fine, it isn't outstanding. Kaspersky uses a fairly standard multistep wizard installer that's fairly painless, but some of the other suites we looked at this year have one-click installation processes. Once the package was installed, we navigated its screens fairly easily. The main screen gives a clear indicator of your protection status, with buttons along the bottom to adjust settings for the suite's major components. Some parts still could use a redesign, though. For example, a few panels open in the main window, while others spawn new windows, which can be a little disorienting. And from a purely aesthetic perspective, I wasn't a huge fan of the teal-and-white theme--but that's picking nits.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 falls a little short of the absolute top competitors, mainly because of the all-around strength of this year's suites. Nevertheless, Kaspersky’s latest offering is worth a look.
