Journal 4

Thursday September 24 was the day of my interview. I woke up early to go over some articles that have good tips when presenting my work to someone. My interview was planned to be at 6pm, however Mey contact me to change the time to 5pm. Although I didn’t have any inconvenience changing my interview time, I was somewhat worry if I could make it on time, since I had a meeting with my senior project professor at 3:30 pm. Therefore I decided that if I arrive early at my first meeting I wouldn’t have any problem with time, and that’s exactly what I did. I arrived 10 minutes early to my 3:30 meeting. I didn’t wait much since my professor was available at the moment. He went over my progress on my senior project and also my print portfolio that I was holding. He told that my portfolio was clean and presentable. He concluded the meeting by saying to continue advancing with my project and he wishes me good luck at my interview.

At the end of my meeting I notice that professor Mason was at his office, thus I decided to tell to him. It was a great decision that I made. Professor Mason gave me good ideas in how to improve my portfolio; he corrected me in some spelling errors and the layout of my portfolio. He also stated that I had a clean portfolio. After hearing this I felt less nervous and more confident.

With no delays, I arrived at my interview on time, and soon I was introduction myself to Mey. She looked at my portfolio and told me “this is what we are looking for.” She later adds, that the job was more about creating layout and typography work. Later she asked me what days I am available. I couldn’t answer at the time but I suggested that I would email her those days I am available, and she agreed with me. I conclude the meeting by saying thank you for your time. I got to say it was somewhat easy, but I don’t regret reading those articles or talking with my professors. It was a good idea in preparing for this interview.
