That's right, this morning I had my phone interview. I think it went well. I answered the questions soundly and asked a few good ones myself. I was asked to send in a writing sample and a design sample(!) and told that they'd be making decisions for the next round of interviews in 1-2 weeks.
I had a difficult time figuring out what I wanted to do for the design sample. Basically, the job will entail creation of some brochures and other promotional materials for the organization so they want to make sure I can handle it. I put together a sample of some screenshots from some of the web pages I've designed and a flyer I put together for the state senate campaign over the summer. I really don't have much else in terms of print media. I did some graphic stuff here and there for some of the video editing, but none of that was really going to be what they're looking for.
So now, back to the waiting game and keeping my eyes open for other jobs.

You should create a funny (but well-designed) brochure about yourself and why you should get the job.

that's actually not a bad idea. I know... Me and Gwen agreeing. Cue the end of the world.

I was going to suggest making a pamphlet supporting the other side of the issue. That way, they realize how much damage you could do if you don't get the job.
