First, I had an online interview with my potential direct supervisor and a company executive. It was pretty conversational and they got straight to the point about my past work and what the company does and expects. A few days later, HR called me for a short follow-up phone interview.

Behavioral Technical

I actually got my interview by chance. I went to a Job Fair at California College of the Arts to meet with a few firms I had been talking to about joining their teams. While waiting to meet with them, I saw a past classmate of mine and we got to talking about old times. He introduced me to his colleague and we had a relaxed conversation about where I was at in my career and what my plans were for the future. From this chance meeting, I got an interview with Dahlin Group. We then set up a more formal 1:1 interview for that week. It was relaxed and comfortable. I was sold, and the process went from an accidental encounter to me wanting to work for them.

Behavioral Presentation

It was in depth and informative on both ends. It was casual but engaging and I felt it was easy to see that we were clicking in our conversation. We reviewed my portfolio and we went through each project and talked about what I specifically did in group projects and I was connecting what was in my portfolio to the type of work they do.

Behavioral

Applied and interviewed a few days later. As someone with a decade of experience, my advice: Look elsewhere, don't waste your time. The newer staff have high turnover due to older management who aren't the most approachable or transparent and the pay isn't even competitive.
