I never actually got to the interview, but I did receive an email with "sort of" offer.... They sent me an email on July 20th saying 'We loved your work and feel you would be a good match for our office and brand.' I was excited, but after I sent my response, which was straight away, I never heard back from them. So a few weeks later on August 2nd, I sent a follow up email basically stating that I'm assuming that they really weren't so interested in me. I received a response saying that maybe the emails were lost, and then they turned around and said 'After reviewing your portfolio a second time, we have decided that your work is not the best fit for our company at the moment.'
This was absurd experience I have ever encountered when applying for a job with a company in NYC. So if you are interested in working at Off White Co., just be warned, do so at your own risk.
I interviewed at OffWhite Design (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
The job was posted on Behance. Joshua, the owner, contacted me through Behance messaging to come in for an interview. He mentioned that the firm is moving from the congested Times Square tiny location to a larger location in New Jersey. This interested me because I live in New Jersey and would rather not commute to the city every day. We scheduled an interview for later on in the week. The job looked promising as well as the company. Even after losing my dog the day before, I took the long commute into the city to meet with Joshua. I arrived a tad early and was greeted by the office manager, who was very nice. All of the other designers where in the same room, working at their computer, no personality or interest in what was going on around them.
When Joshua was ready, I was seated in the tiny conference room. He did offer a coffee or water and seemed overall interested in me. As I went through my portfolio, Joshua continued to mention how great my work was but was more interested in how I was an online student for 75% of my bachelor's degree. I felt judged as he continued to ask how the online process worked and how I could ever learn anything. Clearly, I did, if my work was so great to him. I continued moving on talking about my work but was continually asked how the process worked being online.
The interview questions were nothing out of the ordinary. There were no trick interview questions like what are your weaknesses, etc. They focused more on my goals as a designer, what I wanted to do, and my experience.
Joshua then mentioned he had a couple interviews throughout the next week and he would get back to me within the next week or two. I never received any sort of correspondence from Joshua even after messaging him about the job on Behance as I realized I was never given his email and could not find it anywhere.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at OffWhite Design (New York, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
Someone from OffWhite Design contacted me after finding my portfolio on Behance. She set up an interview, which was subsequently moved several times. At interview, the interviewer did not stand up or introduce himself. He did not smile or seem to want me there. Told me he interviewed at one of the companies on my resume, but that he did not get hired. Begrudgingly complimented my portfolio and immediately asked what salary I was looking for. When I told him he scoffed. I left and could only laugh at what such a weird interview experience it was. Needless to say there was no follow up on either end.
