I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gensler (Austin, TX) in Sep 2018
Interview
I met with the director if interiors and another member of staff. Their questions were slightly unrelated to the job as a whole but I appreciated their intrigue. I decided to take more control over the interview and lead with an about me excerpt and then moved on to my portfolio and asked for any questions along the way.
