I’ve had many SEO job interviews and I want to share the most common SEO interview questions to keep some light to those who are getting ready for interviews in this field. My first advice is always be ready for the first question as it is the main step in the beginning of most interviews whether it is in SEO field or not. So here they are:
Questions listed below are most frequently asked questions when you attend for seo job , it is important to concentrate on how an answer is given rather than the actual answer. They often scare interviewees, practice well by reading seo articles, to get a good opportunity in seo field and shine in this industry.
The most important thing is obviously the knowledge of SEO (on page and off page both). Make sure you test your SEO skills on your own once before going for an interview, you can do this by answering these "SEO job interview questions" properly. You don't need to write the answers anywhere just go through these questions and see if you know them or not, if you get stuck on any question then look for the answer and update your SEO knowledge bank, this practice will enhance your knowledge a lot.
I know to gain experience you need work but it doesn't mean that you can get that experience from jobs only. You can create your own web pages or blogs and optimize that blog for search engines and make list of keywords on which your blog is on top and add these details in your resume under the section of work done or experience.
