Testing for 8am conf call tomorrow

Ok go to go

Hello?

Jennifer?

Good morning Ken

How are you today?

Are you ready for the briefing and the interview?

Good morning I am well. Yes.

Just a quick technical snafu but ll seems to be working is this a video call or messaging meeting?

Great

The position you applied for is quite competitive so there is no way we can do video.For that reason your undivided attention is needed cause i'm doing it for you and others simultaneously

okay that is fine one moment - did not know

Whenever you are ready. I had my office set up for VC.

I am Ms Jennifer Bromwell.The Sr Recruiter at Transwestern Inc..

Before we get on with the job interview,I want you to confirm your Name,cell number and Location?
Ken

Redacted

I'm here to brief and interview you more about the opening position
Just follow the briefing and you can ask questions when i am through. Let me know when you have finished reading and understanding every line!

You will be allowed to ask questions later.With each line just respond with an Okay.

okay

as freelance who would eventually have an office space at home

Note that the company will be setting up a Mini office for you at home if you are hired at the end of this interview, for proper calculation of your hour

This is going to be an online and work from home job. The working hours are flexible where you could choose to work from anywhere of your choice

okay

Are you currently employed?

Not full-time (freelancing/contract design work)

Will you be able to devote 10 to 30 hours of your time weekly to Transwestern Inc GROUP?

Yes

What qualities and skills should a good graphic designer have? How do you work with collaborators like copywriters, developers, and project managers? Tell me about the final hand-off process.

Excellent communication. High level concept meetings should end in time-based results and initial concepts should flow smoothly from the design directors hands to his staff. Each dept lead should have a progress meeting and sign off on creative and further approvals as necessary

Final handoff should be the most polished product possible, with design and other teams supporting the sales and account staff as necessary

As far as skills a designer should have, as a design veteran/manager - inspiration to his or her staff and always thinking of the best tools and design strategies available. In any case, however - communication is key.

How do you incorporate feedback into your designs? What’s a time you received hard criticism for your work? Describe your creative process. What are the major steps?
I learned that you cannot be too attached to a concept or particular design.

So long as its not a huge set of creative work you should always be open to any criticism and or changes. Sometimes the random whim of upper management (MAKE IT RED) shines through (many times, actually) and you need to flow with requests like that, or respectfully counter why you believe in it (The client is Heineken, Sir. Primary color is emerald green)

There has always been criticism of design work, regardless of the person or team who executes it. What I said above covers the logistic of handling design edits and requests or critique.

For my creative process, I begin with sketches in the initial meeting. I am a big fan of marker boards and other means of communicating early stages of design work. After approval we move to loose digital versions, tightening as our milestones move on. Final package will be a complete set of all of the tools sales or marketing needs.

Great

What brands do you most admire and how do they influence your work? Let’s say you’re designing a new logo for our company. What would it look like?
I am a big fan of American Icons. Coca-Cola, Converse, Apple. I love some of the European companies designs, especially high end fashion and retail like Armani, Hermes, Adidas.

Given the Transwesterns global presence and Real Estate/Development business influence, probably something that translates to a global/architectural element
How do you meet tough deadlines? Tell me about a time you completed great work under pressure.

At REDACTED, during certain events you would need to be on call, regardless of the time.

Realistically you should be able to avoid pressure based on the amount of work presented to you in your meetings and deliver accordingly.

When you do get something out of left field (The client changed his mind, he wants to use his mother's maiden name lol) Then you adapt and do whatever needs to be done to finish the job. Sometimes, failure will happen, it is inevitable - just be sure you learn from it and you change whatever need to be changed so it does not occur again.

What’s an example of a project where you disagreed with the client’s feedback and how did you handle it?

Sorry to use the age-old phrase "The client is always right" but it really is a correct adage. Here as I said before you need to be an adept communicator to explain your side of the argument. (If you really need to) Sometimes you have to take a bath on what you and your team thought was a beautiful design but was changed because the client wanted it done.

This is true from any aspect of design. People change their minds.

Okay

What’s an example of a project where you disagreed with the client’s feedback and how did you handle it?

One of our huge accounts, REDACTED - began doing ad runs for ROS (All over REDACTED.com) so these were high impact ad placements and quite a few of them.
REDACTED as you may know is a pharmaceutical corporation and require legal copy for each ad, regardless of size of the ads. Some of the ads are very small in size (mobile, etc) we just could not run effective creative with a 50 word count legal accompaniment.

Okay

So I put together a powerpoint presentation of what people were responding to - and surely enough the ads with all of the clutter were not as effective as the larger visual creative. So with that ammunition the client dropped anything smaller than a certain size AND regrouped their investment in stream media ads that were used on smaller units.

everyone won

How do you measure the success of your designs?

I've always thought the greatest thing you can hear it "whoa. that's cool." No matter if for a cutting edge piece of art, or a logo for a coffeemaker.

The best measurement of design work is the clients happiness and continued success. While I have had the pleasure of winning some awards and having back slaps, the quiet humming of a good design engine is the best thing you could ask for.
I should add to that: Continued BUSINESS.

Great

Tell me about yourself and your last/current job?

I am someone that loves to have fun while he gets the job done. I have worked in so many aspects of design im unsure which I like best, but its probably the satisfaction that I have always had great success and an impact wherever I have been. (My last two jobs were 14 and 12 years respectively)
My last full-time job was at REDACTED and it was a real great place to work, but could get crazy hours. We created cutting edge technology (the first to stream live sports, the first to stream pay-per live sports and subscriptions)

How long would you expect to work for us if hired?

That depends it's sort of a loaded question, as long as possible so long as we are both happy with my work. Given my track record - its usually long haul.

What type of software have you worked with?

Very very many to list so I will try and list as application suites

How much will you request per hour if you are hired?

Okay

All of microsoft offerings, with an extensive grasp of Powerpoint & Word

All of Adobes creative suite. with expert Knowledge of Photoshop & illustrator

3D software, Alias, Maya, softimage. Film editing software, Adobe premiere.

I'm a professional photographer as well. All canon products.
What I saw in the job offering was $50-$65. I expect the high end of your hourly rate
How much will you request per hour if you are hired?
$65.00 per hpur

“Copiers?” Why are office supplies and items not purchased by Transwestern?

Normally, the company makes the purchase of the materials for our employees but due to errors that has been happening on the receipts of purchase from the vendor, it was stated that all employees makes the purchase of the materials while the company provides the funds that would be used for the purchase because if you are able to work for the company for a period of 12-16 weeks, the materials automatically becomes yours And your name has to be on the receipt of purchase to show that you made the order from the vendor.
