Interview
You have to fill out application with some math problems and typical questions about your future in 5 years, main accomplishments, greatest weakness etc, then you'll get interview with the general manger or the owner if they like your qualifications. The ask you you what is your experience working in InDesign - this is the main program they use and if you have any experience working at a print shop. They don't mind if you have no experience, they say they will train you as long as you are willing to learn. Willing to learn and attention to detail is the biggest plus. Don't bother bringing your portfolio, you won't be doing much of a creative design, more like fixing artwork and make it print ready.
