Interviewing Skills For Graphic Designers and Creative Professionals

[@shennayecox8311]

I have an interview for junior graphic designer and this video gave me a good booster in what to expect :) Thankyou!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

I got my first job as a Junior Graphic Designer after watching your video. Thank you!!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Phuong- That's amazing! I'm so happy for you. Did this video help? What part?

[@Flatfourdetailing]

Philip VanDusen it absolutely helped. I would say asking the interviewee questions. That’s important because if you don’t ask questions you kind of don’t care to know about the job.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks for replying! That is a great observation - and so true. Congratulations again!

Managed to land two interviews for a Junior Designer role on the same day which was nerve wracking but this video was beyond helpful in so many measures, thank you.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Ben, I'm really glad it helped. I just got a comment about a week ago from a woman who happened on this video the day before a big interview - I asked to come back and tell me how it went - and she got the job! and said what I was talking about in the video ended up being a topic of conversation in the interview! That got me stoked! Best of lick - and you come back and tell me how it went too, OK?

[@benfrowen94]

@@PhilipVanDusen Little update. I've been called back to both interviews, both with the managing directors to speak to me personally. So the nerves are definitely building! Haha.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

@@benfrowen94 Great news. Hopefully you can get offers from both. That is the absolutely BEST position to be in. Then you can leverage and negotiate the best offer you can from each - playing them off one another. If that happens, let me know ASAP - email me through my website. I've been there a few times and can give you additional thoughts. Best of luck!

You're very welcome :) Besides that, I wanted to say that your advice is very insightful and I will definitely use some of the tricks in the near future when I'll finally start going to interviews for my first "real" jobs. Actually I'm an architecture student, but your tips are totally transferable and thank you for sharing them.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Emina, I'm glad you realize they are transferrable. They totally are! You should watch my Presentation Skills video - that will ALSO help you in interviewing!

[@wkdrbl]

Thank you for this really informative talk. I'm a coder/developer who has always been a design-thinker, and I'm looking to make the leap into the design world as I've identified it as my passion. This really helps me contextualize and build a good approach for getting in!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Hey Chris, Keep those coder/dev skills handy and polished up. They will make you an extra special hire for your next gig. If you have great design chops too - you will be a hot commodity.

[@iTheNem3sis]

I got my first Junior Graphic Designer job interview soon. Wish me luck.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

How'd it go?

[@jagodabrie411]

I didn't see this video before! Super useful. I had few interviews last year and I tried to prepare, but there was few things I missed. I'll add from myself: 1. When you present your portfolio, make sure it looks nice. I slammed my designs on white, instead of putting them into mock ups. 2. I was so excited for a perspective to get a new job, that I started to talk about my current workplace in past, or even slightly in a negative way. It indeed is hell on earth, but you do not want to express it, even at slightest. 3. I make jokes when I'm stressed and I think it generally works well, but I find I make too many of them and might not be taken seriously for the role in the end. Balance is the key. Right now, I feel like I'm way smarter about interviews, but not letting nervousness get in the way is still a challenge.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Jagoda. #2 is an excellent point that I wish I had made in the video. Negative talk about an old employer is the kiss of death - because we all know - if you are talking about them like that now - "we" are next. Also I have found that "belly-achers" tend to be bellyachers on the job - poisoning the pond (or studio) as well. Also #1 Great point about mockups- they are so easy to do these days there is no excuse not to use them on all your work. Cheers J! Good to see you back!

[@jagodabrie411]

@@PhilipVanDusen I think the main reason why not to say anything is because from employers perspective it's hard to judge whether you really have a hard time at work and why or whether you exaggerate and you are the toxic one. I feel like 9 times out of 10 they think the latter. It's not worth a risk, even if employee's situation is indeed really bad. I'll admit I ended up taking my employer to court because of what has been happening; it's just so wrong and illegal that you can't let it be. However regardless of that, it is not relevant to you trying to get a job, so it's just not worth mentioning. I think one should just focus on the future and separate themselves from their current workplace situation. My point was that it just can be hard sometimes when asked for a reason to want to quit, or current position in general. One needs to completely mask their feelings, and previous year I was not too successful. I never went anywhere, just a bit busy with my new idea, that I might actually tell you more about soon :)

[@PhilipVanDusen]

@@jagodabrie411 You're right that it is hard trying not to be totally transparent - but in a job interview it is the best idea. You are selling yourself to them after-all. Does a used car dealer tell every prospective buyer about the squeeky brakes? Unethical, maybe, but if you want them to buy the car - advisable.---I'm looking forward to hearing about your idea!

[@jagodabrie411]

@@PhilipVanDusen Agreed totally, that is why I learnt to control my feelings or expressions a bit more and those are mistakes of the past :)

Thanks so much for this video. I plan to use "the questions to ask" for sure. It was something I was missing from my interview process.

Thanks Colin. I'm glad I could help!

[@leonardofernandes2655]

Hey Philip i'm new here but i already love your channel, one little tip/suggestion, between 250Hz and 450Hz decrease 2dB or maybe even 4dB with a not so open Q and you can also cut all the frequencies under 80Hz on your vocal track, this will improve your audio quality. Thanks for all your amazing videos, you're great!.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Leonardo, very astute critique of the audio, Thanks. I take the audio direct from a Rode NT2000 condenser mic into an ART tube mic pre and them directly into my Canon 80D. I don't touch the audio EQ in post at all. I'm sure I should, and I'd like to, but I don't have the time. Amazing to have you as a sub!

[@leonardofernandes2655]

Philip VanDusen i understand, you have pretty good signal flow when you record your audio, if you edit in Final Cut Pro you have all the plugins of logic which are great and you can use a preset for this and wouldn't take you any time, if you use Premier (my personal favorite) I think it has a pretty decent Equalizer, I'm a Sound Engineer so I always work on a professional DAW but I understand that time is a huge factor when you are an active KZbinr. Keep up with the good job!!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Leonardo, I'm a musician too and have written, recorded and mixed in Logic since before Apple bought it and it was called Notator Logic by Emagic. I take a very quick and dirty approach to video editing and although I have used Premier Pro - I do all my editing in Screenflow. Its the fastest app for me and does the job. But it's audio capabilities are limited. Thanks for the advice!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Sundus, Great question. If you want to be a creative director or art director you will need to start as a designer first. ALL AD's and CD's come up from the design ranks. The fact that you have a MBA in Marketing is a great start. Now the next move is to start designing. Step 1: take a course in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Start here at byol.me/philip (affiliate link) Daniel Scott is the best in the Adobe teacher in the business and his site membership is SUPER cheap.

Do you think it's appropriate to ask about the salary? And how should I ask them what the salary is, or if it's to low how do it tell them I want to earn more? Great tips in the video, thank you!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Leave salary negotiations for another meeting after you are offered the role. If you are there and interviewing chances are you know something about the salary range. But the negotiations should happen later. Negotiating salary is an art and a science - and I'm afraid it's too much to go into here. But thats a great idea for a new video!

Pay attention to this video then. It sounds trite, but sit up straight - physically lean in - and do some research into the department.

Hi Philip, it's so great that you mentioned about the business aspect of designing, many agencies in my country want only hands to move pixels. What do you think about the employer who is asking the designer to make a sample design before the actual interview?

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Ewelina, Doing a project as part of the interview process is not unheard of. I did a project early in my career for a job - and got the job because of it. It depends on 1. How much you want that particular job and 2. if the project isn't so gigantic that it is essentially asking for lots of design work on spec.

[@MinuteExplained]

I recently had a phone interview with a Fortune 500 company, and it was a different experience altogether. It was difficult to gauge the response and interest of the creative director on the other line, especially when she was silently taking notes during the conversation. There would be long periods of silence that felt excruciating and awkward.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Minute, Phone interviews are awkward anyway - then add in that you might have been interviewing with an awkward CD who doesn't know how to conduct an interview well and that makes it even worse. Not everyone is a great interviewer (not interviewee) either.
