about yourself?
Interviewee: sure! i'm a fresh graduate, i just got my bachelor degree from the university of brigton
this summer in graphic design, which I graduated as a cumlaude with a GPA of 3.7. There, i joined
the student council and get both nominated and elected as the student council president. I got my
experience in graphic design mostly through my internship. I interned at an agency here in town, and I
was able to work with various graphic designers, and art directors. at first, I started slow, I was
assigned to help them in projects, and later on I got my own project that I have to work on. It was a
really exciting experience, I learned a lot, I enjoyed all the process and most importantly I am able to
get the image of working as a graphic designer and with that im really looking forward in being a real
graphic designer and working in your company.
Interviewer: (nodding) Hm, that’s nice and I can see you got a quite high GPA there, 3.7, not a lot of
people could achieve that GPA. Well, im sure you’re very smart. We can use a smart graphic designer
in our company, will be a very useful asset. I’ve looked to your cv too, and it is quite strong, very
good. Now let’s talk about your strengths and weaknesess, shall we? Let’s start with your strength,

the team and the company. Now, let me her about your weaknesses.
Interviewers: Sure my weakness is sometimes i find it really difficult in asking for help, eventhough i
really need it, i tend to rely on myself in everything i work on eventhough at some points i do need
help from other people, but i ofc realize that there are a lot of brilliant and talented people in this
company, in this team and i need to start asking for guidance or help whenever i feel unsure. my other
weakness is sometimes i tend to pay too much attention to the smallest detail, that sometimes isn't
even that relevant, and it takes me a lot of time in finsihing a project bcs of that tendecies, but in
times, I’ve learned over-fixating on making things perfect can lead to missed deadlines . I’ve been
working on improving this by taking breaks so that I have a chance to refocus on the big picture.
Interviewer: Thankyou for being honest, I really appreciate your honesty and your commitment to fix
and improve yourself about these weaknesses that you have. Im sure in times you will be able to work
out on those weaknesses. Now tell me, why do you choose graphic designing as your career?

myself really good at it too. Graphic Designer career basically resonated with my creative passion and
allowed me to showcase my talent, plus it makes my interest a profession and lets me create
impressive designs that impact people. And who doesn’t want to do what they enjoy and get an

you different from the other candidates?

money or the income but I am doing it because it’s my passion, and the income is just like a bonus for
me. I also believe that I posses all the skills that you are looking for and I believe my skills would

must have in designing world. I do really well in project management, leadership and teamwork as
