Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a marketing or communications project you worked on, maybe for a class, a club, or a job, where you had to juggle a few things at once. How did you keep it all on track?

whether the candidate has real experience with project management and organization under shifting priorities, not just claimed skills

Walk me through a time you had to write something for an audience that wasn't your usual one, like turning technical information into something a general reader could understand.

writing versatility and audience awareness, which matters given the role spans press releases, brand copy, and web content

Motorola Solutions works in public safety, so accuracy and tone matter a lot in anything public-facing. Tell me about a time you had to be careful with how you worded something because the stakes felt higher than usual.

judgment and carefulness with messaging in a brand context where mistakes are costly

Tell me about a time your first idea for a creative project didn't work and you had to change direction.

resilience and creative flexibility rather than attachment to one idea

Tell me about a group project where the workload wasn't split evenly and you had to figure out how to handle it.

collaboration skills and maturity in handling team dynamics, since the role explicitly involves working across intern teams

Why Motorola Solutions, and why marketing here specifically, given that our work touches public safety rather than a typical consumer brand?

genuine interest in the mission versus applying broadly to any marketing internship

Technical

Have you used tools like Figma, HubSpot, ContentStack, or Adobe Creative Cloud? Tell me about something you made with one of them.

concrete familiarity with the named tools versus surface-level exposure

What's a brand or company whose storytelling or content you admire, and why does it work?

whether the candidate can articulate marketing principles, not just consume content passively

How would you measure whether a marketing campaign was successful? What numbers would you actually look at?

basic grasp of marketing metrics and analytical thinking rather than just creative instincts

Situational

Say we hand you a dataset showing a recent digital campaign underperformed against its goals. What's your first move?

basic instinct for data-driven thinking and whether they'd guess or actually investigate before recommending changes

If a cross-functional team, say someone from product and someone from sales, gave you conflicting feedback on a campaign asset, what would you do?

comfort navigating competing stakeholder priorities without formal authority

Imagine you're asked to help draft a press release for a new product launch but you don't have all the technical details yet. How would you approach getting what you need without holding up the timeline?

proactivity and communication skills when working with incomplete information
