Always remain calm and do what is called “mirroring”. You are just repeating what they are saying. It makes the client think you understand them. I also throw in...I can certainly understand your point of view.

I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?

Do internships count towards years of experience? I held my first design internship in 12th grade (2016), and have since held at least one internship per semester throughout college, all related to my career path - but they were all part time. In my last semester of college (May 2020 grad), I worked as a full time contractor for 18mos. I freelanced after, before working as an FTE the past year.

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?

Thanks in advance!
