      Graphic Designer Interview

      2 Oct 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Raleigh, NC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AmericaTowne (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      Went in for an interview as an entry-level Graphic Designer. I was told that that they were trying to build a design department (they had no in-house designers, only contractors or IT people working on the website) at that specific branch, but did not offer any resources such as essential Adobe Creative Suite subscriptions, personal computer or dedicated workspace, professional organization memberships, or professional development opportunities for designers yet. They essentially wanted someone that could be their Brand Designer, Web Designer, Social Media Specialist, and Graphic Designer in one job role to build everything from the ground up and report directly to the CEO of the entire company. At the end of the interview I was asked if I was okay with a "trial period" of three months, at the ridiculously non-competitive pay rate of $10 an hr despite being a full-time employee, before being able to discuss a "salary package" that was vaguely referred to and normalized because "all employees go through this process." The interview process ended with them telling me that they liked me, would be in touch the next week, then ghost me without ever replying.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      All employees undergo a "trial period" for 3 months, we will pay you $10 an hour but you will work full-time as an at-will employee before being offered a salary, are you okay with this?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      How fluent are you in Chinese? (This was because the Graphic Designer role would directly report to the CEO in Mainland China, which was not stated in the job post)
