“Hmmm. Well, can you tell me what kind of programming experience you have?”

“Well, um, yes - this is a website design and development company …”

“Uh, oh, right. Well, I wanted to know if you had any design or, like, art positions available.”

“Well, no, not really. We are, however, always interested in keeping portfolios on file for the future in case we’re ever in need of additional help. Do you have a website where we can review some of your work?”

“Uh, yeah. I mean, um, no. I mean, like, I have a website, but you can’t, like, look at it on the internet or anything.”

“I see. OK, well, best of luck to you, and have a good day.”

My tip for the week is super easy: If you’re looking to obtain a position in the website and/or graphic design industry, know a bit about the company you’re contacting, be prepared to show your work online, and try to speak in a clear manner. It will really do wonders when it comes to getting hired!
