Hey guys,
I have a very important interview tomorrow for a graphic design position — what are common questions I should prepare for? How does one typically present a print portfolio? Any information that, if it is not asked of me, I should bring up? Thank you!
Kim

Also, think of it like a first date.  Don't ask about benefits and perks until they offer you the job.  It's like asking for a wedding date on the first date.  Make it about what you can offer them, not about what they can offer you.

More than knowing what to expect, you should be prepared with questions of your own. You're interviewing them just as much as they're interviewing you.

Do your research on the company. Know you're stuff. Don't ask questions you should already know the answer to.

Doug is right.
This not only ensures that you ARE the right fit, but also places yourself in a position where the table turns and they feel as though they are selling themselves to you, not the other way around. 

PS... Where is it?
