Jason Bacon, co-founder of consultancy Big-Giant and urban vinyl powerhouse UNKL has interviewed a lot of designers, and does a great job of identifying what a good interview looks like in the creative professions. And what a bad one looks like too:

Q: Is there a particular "tell" that signals a good or bad fit?

A: I think the biggest tell for a bad fit is when a designer piles on a ton of excuses while running us through their work, or frames up a project with a comment about how bad or difficult the client was, or how stupid the project itself was. It happens a lot more than it should. I think you can identify challenges within a project, but good designers know how to turn negatives into positives.
