Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with a fantastic bunch of mentees from ADPList. We got together to shoot the breeze about design interviews and how we can up our game to snag that next big gig.

Some people were looking to cut their teeth on their first design roles, others were looking for new opportunities after being swept up in industry layoffs. The common theme that resonated with everyone was the importance of personal presentation - finding the right techniques to showcase your authentic self.

There were so many questions that I had no chance of getting through all of them but I wanted to share the most voted for questions and my responses. Caveat, I don’t have all the answers but, for what it’s worth, I’m happy to share my personal experience.

To all of you on the lookout for your next adventure, have faith – it's out there waiting for you. I hope you can take away something valuable from my responses.
