Welcome, and congrats on your first post. :slight_smile:

The topics you’ve listed are very specific, and we definitely have playbooks that can help. Let me take a moment to find them for you. Tagging @hesh_fekry here, in case he has any specific follow-up questions.

Hello Tania,

I hope you are doing well.

Thank you so much for all the inputs and links. I really appreciate your time and thank you very much to the CXL team for taking this up. I have gone through the Facebook Ads for eCommerce and Google Ads for eCommerce, and both the courses are really good. I will also go through the other links.

Below I have attached a word file of the first round of interview questions for Facebook, I have put the answers which I gave, and I kindly request the CXL team to put this up with the experts. I want to know about my answers are correct or not, and want to get their valuable feedback on the same. Preferably their kind of answers to the questions, so, if I lack anything I can improve. It would be very helpful for me.

Thank you,
Karthik

If you wanted to send a doc to look over, you can try uploading it to Drive and sending the message to me directly. That way I can have our team look over the interview questions along with your answers.

Thank you so much,

Hi @jobsforkarthikan and @tania

@ognjen_boskovic , our head of growth already had a look for you and answered here 9d ago.

:sweat_smile: I believe as your private answers where shared the discussion moved to DM and maybe you missed the answer/notifications? apologies about that.

@jobsforkarthikan let me know if this is all good or if you need more help

Hey @jobsforkarthikan,

It seems you were trying to signup for the workshop event, hosted by folks at Adore and Speero.

Wanted to let you know the Miro board used in the workshop will be shared. No recordings or slides are being shared after the event.

Hosts of the event will also happily share Calendly links in case anyone wants to talk to them about the workshop.

Once I have these links, I’ll be sure to send them your way. :slight_smile:

Hello Tania,

I’m checking courses on Paid advertising (PPC, Google Ads, SEM), Facebook Ads, & SEO. Could you please provide me with the updated courses and playbook links? It would be great if I could get any updates.

Thank you,

Karthik
