  • Assuming this is a corporate job, come up with a couple questions for your interviewer. Get them talking about the company and they’ll remember you as a good listener. My usual go-to questions are:

    • “What’s the company culture like?”

    • “What aspect of the company do you see as the most enjoyable?”

    • “Why did you chose to work for the company, and what’s made you stay?”

    Questions like that. Try to make it personal and specific, since it’s usually the hiring manager that you’re interviewing with. You can write them down and bring them with you; as long as you’re bringing multiple copies of your resume, you can stash the questions at the bottom of the stack.

    If it isn’t a corporate position, then it depends. I can’t answer for those since I’ve only done labor and corporate, so I don’t now how to interview for technical or artistic positions. I would assume make sure you have your portfolio on hand, though be careful about doing on-site consultations since you would be giving them designs for free and they have no obligation to hire you after that. If they try to do that to you, do not continue the interview with them. Just thank them for their time and leave.
