OMG! I have a really intense interview tomorrow. I'm so nervous - I would absolutely love this job and to work for this company.
I was told it was going to be about 2 hours long and 4 people will be involved - eeeek!!!
Just wondering what the hell they are going to do to me! LOL!
Has anyone had any experience of intense interviews and what it involved - trying to prepare myself.
wish me luck :)

yay dita!
I had 3 people sitting in on a few interviews all taking notes, don't let it faze you... my approach is to try and turn it around so that you are interviewing them.
interview questions i found it helpful to be prepared for:
what is the design process you work to?
how do you keep up to date with developments in the industry? have you read any articles recently related to the industry, what was it about and what is your opinion on that issue?
have you been in a situation of conflict at work before - how did you deal with it?
have you ever had to convince a client to do / not do something? how did you convince them?
also you should research their company fully and know specific examples of their work that "made you want to work for them" - that way they know you really want to work for their company and they're not just one on a list of 50.
good luck!

sounds like they approach interviewing in the same manner as a solid project meeting (everyone sits down, discusses their area of expertise, gameplans the goals, etc.).
optomistically, this is a sign that the company has their act together and seriously expect you to be a good fit.
best of luck to you.

I always get asked:
Whats the strongest work in your folio and why.
Have you ever had any conflicts with poeple you work with and how did u get round it.
Why do you want to work here?
What can you bring to the company.

for the last one, 2 out of 3 of my interviewers were women so when they asked what i'd bring to the company i said chocolate and i'm sure that's why they hired me

good luck Dito!
I hate those kind of questions - "what will you bring to the company?" etc etc... thing is, a lot of the time if you ourely employed people based on the answers to these questions you are basically employing someone who is good at interviews, doesn't necessarily mean anything about your ability to do the job.

And if your interviewees are gay just say 'Fruit & nut' and wink at them seductively.

In the words of the Almighty Father, "show a bit of gash love" - I mean, seriously, it cant hurt to wear a short skirt and pull your kecs to the side a wee bit eh, maybe non at all and plenty of the old Kenny Everett leg crossing Ms Stone, even the lassies will appreciate it, as we all know God created women with a built in Lezza gene, just for his own presonal satisfaction like, the saucy old deity!
Peace in the middle East.

a joint always saved me from tough interviews..
keep your spontaneity, a smile and be always strict , concrete and sure of what you say.. never show the guys unstable thoughts/personal issues not related with the matter in cause for the interview... no half scentences!
goo luck, you won't disappoint us!

just try to lie convincingly.
Yes, hours and hours of unpaid overtime is no problem because my passion doesn't extend to my friends and family.
