When you get an interview

The chances are that the company has decided they want you to intern for them already, they just want to know more about you, your skills and how you would interact with the rest of the team.

Preparing for the interview is important. Each company is different and will ask you different things and expect to see relevant work in your portfolio.

Go through your portfolio and see what would work for most companies and what is missing.
Always try to get a double page spread and have a selection of work from hand drawing to photo shoots.
You should look through your portfolio before each interview and make it relevant for the company. This also refreshes you as to whats in it in case they ask you about the work.

I always try to make myself stand out or be recognisable as some company's may be interviewing a lot of interns. By this I mean I wear something bright and stylish, an eye catching piece of jewelry or the way I've done my hair that day.

Always be on time or slightly early, never late!

Just be yourself is the main thing! Every interview is a learning curve so try not to worry about the bad ones, learn for next time.
