I applied online. I interviewed at Powr-Flite (Fort Worth, TX)
Interview
I had one interview where I spoke to someone who wasn't with the creative department and then I spoke to the graphic designer on site. He gave me a practical test.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
The first non-creative person I spoke to had a bunch of catalogs and brochures on a conference table. I was looking them over while I was waiting for the first non-creative. That person asked me, " If I could change the look/feel of any of the materials before me, which one would it be and why?"
This really wasn't a question per say, but rather a warning from the graphic designer that stated that this wasn't a creative job so if I was looking for that, I wouldn't be happy there. He said something to the effect that he was still there because he lived close, and the pay was decent.
Again, not a question, just a warning. The graphic designer had every single tool open on one screen while the artboard was another screen. He didn't allow me to set up PS to the way I work. It was crazy how he had his stuff laid out. And he sat right next to me. It was timed. It wasn't like I was going to do my share of the work with HIS PS layout. Every tool open! Ridic!!
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Powr-Flite (Fort Worth, TX) in Dec 2016
Interview
The hiring manager went the distance (one intro interview and one second-round interview with a co-worker) during this process. These sets of interviews went about as expected and they were very good about responding to emails, even if you get the job or not.

Question 1
During the second interview, they asked my salary requirements. Don't expect to get away with "I'm negotiable" because they insisted upon a number.
