Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at ZGF Architects.
Designer
Had a nice chat with the interviewers. They looked at my portfolio and gave some good advice on including diagrams in my projects. We discussed what the job is like for a new designer, the company vibe, and some of the work.
- What draws you to this company and to Washington D.C.?
Interior Designer
This interview is for us to get to know each other, and see if you 're a great fit for us, but also if we are a great fit for you, which is probably the more important question.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Could you present your portfolio?
- What makes you want to join our company?
Interior Designer
The interview process was super simple. HR first reached out via email, and then I had an online video chat. After that, I interviewed in person with two of the firm's principals. They seemed really keen to learn about me as a designer and were both super friendly and energetic, which made me feel comfortable right away. A big part of the interview involved going through my portfolio, and I actually enjoyed that because it let me answer questions about my design thinking and approach.
- What was your reasoning behind selecting a particular solution for a project?
- In what ways do your ceiling designs connect with the initial concept?
- Can you justify your design decisions in the context of the role you're applying for?
