Re: First ever Game Art job interview coming up - HELP!
Oh, and have a figure ready for when they ask you how much you'd like to be earning. This one used to catch me off guard a bit. Again, do homework on the average amount for the position you are applying for and come up with a realistic figure you'd like, then add a little bit ;P Don't be shy to ask for more than what you… -

Only show sketchbooks if it has art in it that's relevant to gamedev and only if that art is at least as good as online stuff. I believe Crunchcast had a great episode on gamedev job… -

In my experience Game studio interviews are far far easier than retail. People in the retail sector take interviewing far too seriously and they ask all the typical boring shit and expect you to wear a suit and all that nonsense.
