@AD1 meh.. depends on the agency. Some may want “not normal"

I think a lot of the times, the interview is really just to make sure you’re not a normal dude. If your work got you to the interview, I am sure you did just fine today. Good luck! Sending good vibes

Being nervous is normal so I wouldn’t worry about that. Interviews are a personality check along with a deeper dive into your portfolio and resume. The more you do them, the better you get, so be sure to periodically look for opportunities to interview.

For me, I have an elevator pitch about myself, along with a few go-to examples of great work, frustrating clients, fun projects, near-disaster projects (that I skillfully saved), and conflict resolution with peers. It’s good to have a few as you may be asked for more examples, or meet with multiple people. I also try to weave in a few jokes or light-hearted comments to the above examples.
