Q8. What is the difference between a content calendar and a content strategy? Select the most accurate answer.

A) A content calendar lists what to post and when; a content strategy defines why, for whom, and toward what business goal B) They are the same thing — both are planning documents used by social media managers C) A content strategy is used by the design team; a content calendar is used by the writer D) A content calendar is only relevant for social media; content strategy applies to blogs only

Q9. You're asked to write a 600-word blog for a VLSI training company targeting fresh engineering graduates. The topic is: "What is Formal Verification and why should you care?" Write only the introduction paragraph (under 100 words) that would make a non-expert reader want to keep reading.

6 Tools, AI & Situational Judgement

4 questions

Q27. You are given a 600-word blog draft written by a subject matter expert (an engineer). It's technically accurate but hard to read. Describe your editing workflow using AI tools — what prompts would you use, what would you keep human, and what's your quality check process?

0 / 600

Q28. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about using AI tools like ChatGPT in content marketing?

A) AI-generated content is always detected by Google and results in a ranking penalty B) AI tools can significantly speed up drafting and ideation, but human editing is essential for brand voice, factual accuracy, and originality C) AI tools should only be used for grammar checking, never for content creation D) Using AI means you no longer need a content strategy since the AI decides what to write

Scenario: Your manager sends you this message at 9 AM on a Monday: "The CEO wants a full content calendar for Q3 by EOD — 3 platforms, all content types, ideas filled in for 13 weeks." You've never worked on a Q3 plan for this brand before and have a 2-hour client call at 11 AM.

Q29. How do you handle this? Walk through your exact steps, prioritisation, and tools you'd use to complete this on time without compromising quality.

Q30. Final question: What is the single most underrated skill in digital marketing that most job applicants overlook, and why do you think it matters? (This is open-ended — there is no single correct answer. We want to hear how you think.)
