I met with a senior member of the project team. They asked me questions about my current job and how I'd fit the role. We looked at my college portfolio and past projects, and I showed them drawing sets from jobs I've done before.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview was for an intern role on the editorial team. It was pretty chill and mostly involved questions about my portfolio and graphic design work, which I expected. They asked straightforward questions about my experience and why I thought I'd be a good fit. It was a really good experience, especially since it was my first interview after grad school. Later on, I met with the whole editorial team, which made me a bit nervous because I felt like I was being intensely evaluated, but that was anticipated.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Later, I was joined by all the members of the editorial team, and felt I was being critically analyzed.
  • This was expected, however it just made me nervous.

After my friend who works there passed along my portfolio, I got a Skype interview right away. It was a quick chat, not a canned interview; they really wanted to know about my portfolio, not just do the usual 'what's your weakness?' type of questions.

It's a multi-step process to check skills and fit. It usually involves looking at the application, a phone screen, and then in-person interviews with managers and team folks. Not too bad.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Is this your portfolio?
  • Who was your professor?
