What gets scored in every session
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Customer-Back Strategy | Do you start from customer insight or channel preference? We score whether the strategic framing is customer-first or channel-first. | Customer insight as starting point, audience clarity |
| Metric Discipline | Vanity metrics fail. We evaluate whether you chose KPIs tied to business outcomes, conversion, CAC, LTV, pipeline, not impressions or follower counts. | Business-impact metrics vs vanity metrics |
| Message Clarity | Can you articulate what the campaign said and why? We flag answers where message logic is assumed rather than explicitly stated. | Audience-message-channel alignment |
| Performance Impact | Results need a before/after with a business number. We check whether you quantified the lift, revenue, conversion, pipeline, ROAS. | Lift delta, before/after, business outcome |
How a session works
Step 1: Get your PNC Marketing question
You are assigned questions based on where candidates for this role typically struggle most. Each session starts fresh with a new question targeting a different evaluation dimension.
Step 2: Answer by voice
Speak your answer as you would in a real interview. The AI listens for STAR structure and evaluation dimension signals in real time as you speak.
Step 3: Get scored dimension by dimension
Instant scores across all four rubric dimensions. Each gets a score, a flagged weakness, and a specific sentence-level fix, not 'be more specific' but which sentence to rewrite and why.
Step 4: Re-answer and track improvement
Revise based on feedback and answer again. See the before/after score change. Your weakness profile updates across sessions so practice becomes more targeted over time.
