Working in digital media – Maria Brown
Because were having interviews next week for working in digital media (who works in itb as-well)we have Maria brown coming in and give us a lecture about interview tips and techniques and how to handle yourself in an interview and what to do and not to do.
It is an mock-interview but its worth 15% so thats allot
for the interviews we have to pick out of 4 “jobs” and we have to bring our portfolio along
- Web Designer
- Graphic Designer
- Sound Engineer
- Photographer
i’m gonna pick graphic designer because i think it sounds the best and is what i like the best and I love to do that as a job.I’m gonna pick this cause I use photoshop at home to edit pictures& making websites graphics etc and do 3d graphics at home as well so this by far sounds the best to me if it wasn’t that id pick photographer which i like as well cause you can make photos in perspectives that people don’t look in but graphic designer just a bit more
Maria started by saying properly the most important thing is Preparation most people don’t do this they don’t look into the company background and what the company actually does and this is where kinda fail so its important to read up and doesn’t take long and makes ya look so much more professional. she went on to say that you have to know your c.v. as well cause there gonna ask you based on that so it make sense to know that very very well, Maria’s own experience is that you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that would just forget what they actually put down on there c.v. and would say something conflicting
- 1) KNOW YOUR CV
you have to know what you wrote down cause you might say conflicting things and it be very hard & awkward to try to recoup from that
- 2) STAY POSITIVE IN EVERYTHING YOU SAY
if the thing you are saying about yourself is negative such as a problem with an angry customer just try to make it look good by saying:I tried to provide to change the product around and he wanted a refund and I had to get the manager and we where able to trade it in. it makes you look good cause you can stay calm, while professional and keep a customer.
- 3) DRESS APPROPRIATELY
obliviously its an interview so its important to look good and professional
