    Nowadays about 30 minutes of just talking about work seems to be sufficient. Unless I'm hiring a junior production designer, hearing how people talk about design is generally enough for me to gauge if they would be an asset.

    Juvenile questions designed to see how someone would react is a waste of everyones time (including myself). When the tables are turned and I have to answer dumb questions like that, I get a sense that either A) the person has no hiring power and they are just in the room to see if they would work with me, B) the place doesn't take itself seriously at all, or C) the place takes itself TOO seriously and expects a floorshow.

    Either way, if you can't gauge an designer's fit through a simple conversation, you have no business interviewing.
