Publishing Job Interview Tips

One of the things publishing employers look for in a candidate is his or her familiarization with the different software used in the publishing business. It pays to have even just a cursory knowledge of publishing tools like Adobe InDesign and / or Adobe Illustrator. This helps you to be more aware of any mistakes you would not know about had you not been familiar with these software.

If you don’t know anyone who can teach you, there are a number of tutorials online that can help you out with the basics, as well as several reading materials and references you can read or download from the internet. You don’t need to become an expert, you just need enough knowledge to other people familiar with the software can talk around you when they make a mistake.
