A designer’s job interview
Filed Under (My Work) by tehpau
For someone applying for some sales, marketing or business admin kind of job, the interview will probably be made up of a lot of questions and answering. Some people can bullshit their way through but of course the company can call up your current company or referee to find out.
I’m going to attend an interview next week. I wish it is just answering questions. My preparation consists of digging up files from 8 years ago. Yes, I keep all my files because people won’t hire me without looking at some of my work. I’ve been working on it slowly, trying to put them in order in the best way possible.
I hate doing this honestly. Why don’t they just give some source and ask me to come up with some design within an hour? I prefer to do work than to go through tonnes and tonnes of files
I’m stressed out. The more I look at the files the more I feel suffocated.
The company will provide me with a notebook for the interview but I have to bring my own thumb drive and broadband. Well, I am bringing an external hard disk. How do I bring broadband when I don’t have one? It is a big company and they do not have broadband for visitors to tap into?
Do I borrow my friends Maxis broadband? Can it work on 44th floor? I’m not going to sign up for some wireless broadband service just for this. It might not even work.
Stress
impressive 8 years. thank god i’m in sales and marketing where i can bullshit all the way there. LOL, so glad.
