Associate Designer Interview Questions

1,325 associate designer interview questions shared by candidates

When I read the job description it said that you needed to be able to prepare a "portfolio" for clients so I spent a lot of time updating my design portfolio for the interview. Only one person looked at it and seemed surprised I had brought it. ":portfolio" is the word they use for a paper sales quote which is just a list of items a customer would like to purchase at a later date. When I was asked about my comfort with portfolios and I took out my portfolio of past design projects it was an awkward moment I wish I could have avoided.

They will ask a lot about your previous jobs to make sure you can handle the stress. They will ask you if you can work overtime and weekends. They mostly just want to see your portfolio so be well versed at discussing your work.
