Be humble and easy going above all else. Take compliments and don’t downplay yourself. And your work for you the interview. Your personality and how you mesh with the culture will get you the job. People always love it when you ask about them and their agency. My go too question was always “when you’re stuck on a project, how do you get reinspired to make great work”

Lead the conversation. Pick 2-3 projects in your portfolio that you are really into or are really good talking about. Be enthusiastic when you talk about those projects and the challenge and process behind them.

Tbh - it doesn't really matter cause if you have an interview it's because the CD already judged from your portfolio that you are capable of doing the work. Just sound excited and don't be an asshole and you got this.

smart

Bring in your best 3/5 pieces. Be prepared to talk about them and your process. Remember what's unique about you.

I'm not terribly seasoned here, but interpersonal skills are huge. Be able to give directon and critique without stifling creativity. Diplomacy is a plus.

Thank you! Is it not recommended/unprofessional to read listed interview questions from my notebook?

Remember everything. Don't read from a script unless you're applying for a writing gig.

Thank you so much. Very helpful 😊
