Senior Graphics Designer

I am an honest person. The best example I can provide is that I live an honest life each day. I am a person who does not cut corners in order to profit in the short-term from inferior quality or a poorly completed job. I consider myself a person of integrity who completes each job to the best of my ability.

Some designers create animated designs or still designs for television. News channels often seek the services of a graphic designer, as they need animated logos. With the modern internet, animated illustrations are also frequently required by the media for their websites or online promotional video material.

☛ As stated before, I am frustrated with people who do not care about the quality of their work

☛ Other than dishonest people, I have found that I get along well with all types of people.

☛ I feel that a variety of people and a variety of opinions always helps to solve problems and to come up with ideas.

I would ask my boss for more details as to which areas I wasn't performing to their expectations in. I would then discuss a plan and provide a timeline for me to fix the problems. I would also follow up with my boss in two weeks to make sure that they are comfortable with the changes I made.

☛ Explain what you are doing…

☛ Cold-calling, informational interviews, researching area companies, making sure your skills are up-to-date, reading more about the industry, networking with other artists, etc.

► Keep this example to work related issues if possible.

☛ Talk about one of your more successful design projects. What kind of results did it achieve, and how do you define a success?

☛ Speak about an actual project, either in a class, or at your work

☛ Use action words to market yourself. We meet a eight hour deadline at my last job by working as a team to…

☛ Rehearse your examples and describe the steps you too

☛ How would you rate yourself on producing appropriate work for a broad range of clients?

☛ This is a fast-paced environment. How comfortable are you with short deadlines and new trends?

☛ I would like to keep up-to-date on all the equipment and software that I would use as a graphic designer at your company

Now, at first, you might think that this question is the same as the "most successful" one - but it's actually a bit different. Why? Because with this question, the employer is asking for your opinion as an individual - they're asking for you to judge a piece of work based on your own feelings, rather than things like stats and success rates. Why? Because this gives them an insight into who you are as an individual and helps them to assess how well you'd fit in with their current workforce.

Usually it depends on the printer and his press and the project, around one sixteenth to one eight of an inch sometimes one quarter inch.

Graphic designers are not independent artists. They are highly skilled team workers. Their core creative activity is in translating their client's financial goals and market demands into visuals. This requires the ability to listen, ask key questions, and collaborate with whoever is necessary to get the feel of what is needed.

☛ I am motivated most by seeing a project completed and taking pride in having been a part of the

☛ team that made it happen.

☛ I am motivated by seeing my hard work help the company succeed, grow, and continue to attract

☛ new customers

☛ I am motivated when I receive continuous feedback from my boss

☛ I am motivated when I feel that my opinion matters

☛ I am motivated when I feel I am rewarded for my talents and contributions

This is a slightly risky choice. You don't want to put the interviewer in an awkward position. However, if things are going well and you've built a strong rapport, this question can help you see if there are any concerns or issues that you could address to show why you're the best person for the job.

An employer might ask this question because, although you might have mentioned it on your CV or included it in your portfolio, they want to hear about your most successful campaign in your own words. With this question, the employer wants to hear about your passion for that particular campaign and why you personally think it was such a success. They're also looking to see how you judge the success of a campaign and how and what you did to make it successful. Obviously with this question, your answer will depend on your previous experience - but whichever campaign you choose, try and have some stats to hand and be careful not to take responsibility for other people's work.
