In preparation for an interview, come ready to discuss your portfolio at length as well as your design process and what design software you are familiar with. Graphic design positions can be very specific to the company so make sure you brush up on the company's current design style and are ready to explain how your style and experience will mesh.
Here are three top graphic designer interview questions and how to answer them:
How to answer: The hiring manager is assessing your interpersonal, conflict resolution, and teamwork skills with this question. Prove your competencies with a savvy strategy. Include steps such as trying to understand the co-worker's viewpoint, de-escalating the discord, and explaining your design process.
How to answer: Customer service, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential for this position. Show the hiring manager that your skill set includes these abilities. Propose a strategy with tactics such as learning why the client wants the changes and providing any necessary explanations about your work. Additionally, reevaluating your designs, collaborating with the client to decide on essential changes, and revising your work can be included.
How to answer: A suitable candidate for a graphic designer position is proficient in job-specific software and skills. For example, you can include Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint in your answer. Skills in Adobe After Effects for motion design; UX and UI design; color theory; and front-end web development software, such as Adobe Dreamweaver, can show your versatility and increase your employability.
