Assuming it’s virtual? Be ready to screen share your site and explain your thinking (you’d be shocked by how many ppl don’t anticipate this). Prep stories about your work that demonstrate how you solved problems or proposed new ways of working to land where you did. Note how you partnered with various disciplines to show that you’re a team player. Try to show range so that they don’t typecast you.

Just say “craft” as many times as you can.

Kidding. But if your book already got you the interview for the design position you’re in good shape. Maybe you might have to talk a little about your process, where you look for inspiration, your opinions about trends, what is considered “good” design, and the pure functions design plays in human society.

Or... you could just be yourself and say you like to make cool shit. 👍🏼

Hi Fishes,

I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
