Job Interview Advice for Creative Jobs
Now
if you are applying for a role in the creative industry, you can go into two
major fields. The first is client services and the is being an
actual
creative. If you are applying for a client services role, the key thing to
emphasise in your interview is your ability to build and maintain relationships.
Bring in a list of reputable companies who you have cultivated a relationship
with, listing names of well known people in the industry you have worked with
and the successes of your relationships. Don't forget, however, to mention your
ability to work as well with the creative members of your team as you do with
clients.
If however, you are going for a creative role e.g graphic designer or copywriter, your portfolio is a vital element of your interview. Bring along any possible award winning projects you have worked on as well as what you think are the best examples of your creative work. Put emphasis on your ability to meet deadlines and work as a team as these are vital components of any good creative's skill sets.
