      Creative Designer Interview

      Oct 13, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Irving, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Michaels (Irving, TX) in May 2010

      Interview

      Initially sent my resume to a Micheal's Recruiter. She responded and sent me a questionnaire on personality and experience. My info was forwarded to a creative manager and a phone interview was arranged. This manager reviewed my work samples and asked me about my work experience and work personality. This manager seemed like me enough to have me come in for a personal interview. When that was arranged, it was a full day schedule. I was asked to complete a test which would determine my business experience, a lot of this did not apply to me because it was geared more for marketing, finance, management, etc... I also presented my portfolio to at least five members of management and a HR representative. One of the members of management I felt was definitely try to unravel me and trip me up. I did not hear anything after that interview for two months. I was then told I was not selected. I did interview again by phone in 2010. I also spent a week creating holiday designs for the manager I was to speak with. She said my work would not have fit for their product but I do feel she would not have interview me If she did not like what I had presented to her. This phone interview was based more on merchandising in the store. I have to say I worked very hard to get this position. I would have been a very dedicated employee and felt that the questions about merchandising in the store were not appropriate for the position I was applying for.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      I was given a test of 90 questions or more. This was a test more about finance management, marketing, logistics, etc... I was not applying for any of these positions.

      Question 2
