As a Graphic Designer you will be required to help people and companies with things such as websites, designing of graphics, logos, templates etc that make a business known by a certain logo.
If you have been lucky enough to get an interview for this role then you will need to have some experience in this area by maybe doing a graphic design degree course or associated course and then gaining some work experience.
Before attending an interview for a Graphic Design role you need to do your research into the company and it may be an idea to take with you some of your own work or links to your work that your interviewer can have a look at and see what type of work you have done previously.
When conducting your research, ensure that you are familiar with what they currently do and depending on the nature of the role whether you will be seeing clients and providing advice and guidance. The interviewer will be looking to see how creative you are and what ideas and skills you can bring to the business.
Once you are happy where the interview is being held and what aspects of the job role you can happily do and what you need some more work on then it is time to think of some questions that you can ask your interviewer at the end of the interview.
