About Event

Design Buddies and Designlab are teaming up to bring you their first collaborative event together! 

When you’re on the hunt as a designer looking for that almost-perfect first job, you may experience all sorts of interview questions and formats. Inevitably, there will be some scenarios where you feel really confident about and some that will feel incredibly challenging. How can you build confidence with your interview skills while remaining genuine with your responses and showcasing your personality?

We are excited to host an interactive session where attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Practice responding to interview questions that might be encountered during a job search

  • Receive mentor feedback on how to better craft or approach a response

  • Learn tips and tricks on how to approach some common and not-so-common questions
