Behavioral Presentation
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.
