I recently went to two interviews.

Monday 3/14/05
One was on Monday at a design firm for a Graphic Design position. It was in DC so I looked up what kinds of stuff they've done and it seems like the kind of work I would love to do. However when I got there it was not anything I expected.... the commute was terrible gonk it was in the residential area ... didn't looked too friendly confused

I got to interview the head of the company. He was alright. Then it was the usual interview him asking questions then me answering them. After that it was time to present my porfolio. When that was over he said "you should invest more in your portfolio... people tend to spend atleast $100"

Here I am thinking A HUDRED DOLLARS!!!! MAN I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE LOOKING FOR A JOB IF I COULD AFORD TO DO THAT TO MY PORTFOLIO!!!! Even though I really wanted to give him a piece of my mind I just hold it back smiled and said "thank you for your time it was a pleasure meeting you"

Tuesday 3/15/05
The other one on Tuesday went much smoother, even though at first I thought they would not want to hire me. First I was interviewed by Vasudha, she was really nice and it turned out that she too was a Mason Student. She asked me some questions about basic html, which I answered most of.

Then I got to interview with the CEO of the company. He had a few questions for me and I showed him my portfolio. He seemed rather impressed with it and I didn't spend a hundred dollars xp It turned out they want to get one site to be styled like the other. As for what the job concentrates around editing the content, the graphical stuff too and with some training I might even do some of the coding.

He then asked that I do a few versions of the web page he showed me and turn them in on Monday.

So it sounds like I may actually be working for them xd
If they like my stuff sweatdrop
