I booked a train down to London and sat down for the interview with the Editor in chief, Deputy Editor, Artistic Director and Head of Digital. Being my first job interview, I found it such a beneficial learning experience on how to present my work and myself to clients and employers. Preparation was key to how successful my interview went, I studied the company in order to ask insightful and relevant questions to the employers. These questions were written down in a notebook in preparation. The latest magazine was also studied carefully to be culturally revenant to the styles and content of what they produce. At the interview, I gave them two screen prints to keep, long with the book which I had already sent in the post. A selection of my best and most relevant work was then presented offline via an iPad.
From my end, the job interview seemed to go really well, the conversation was flowing and I didn't have to refer to my notebook once. I believe that the presentation practice throughout this course and the PPP module has been so beneficial and aided in controlling my nerves when speaking professionally to a group.
