Interview Tips

Ask the questioner questions that are pertinent to his daily job. If you use jargon that he's used to, he will immediately take you more seriously and open up to you. Now this sounds stupid, but the more you can get the the interviewer to talk, the better chance you have to get the job. Whether or not you are a better candidate, a richer conversation will stand out in the interviewers mind.

Study the winery's website, history, marketing, etc... Refer to it in your interview.

As a marketer your job is to present their vision to the customers. You want to make sure that you know the image they want to project and not only understand it but are excited about it. Refer to a specific piece of marketing material, and ask speculative questions on it. (Who are you targeting, Where, How, etc...)

I interview a lot of people, and most of these things work on me.
