Searching for a job, I've been interviewed by a manager of a webdesigner firm recently. It was just the 'first round'. If they find me qualified enough, they call me back and then comes the 'second round', when they test my capabilities by giving me a quick task. My problem is that I have a greater experience in managing texts on the web (liquid design etc.), than I have in "px by px" design. This firm is working in teams for different projects, so that everyone has a special task (graphics, server-side scripting, building the hardware etc. etc.). But how should that work in real life? If they give me a task in the second round, for instance to convert some graphical design into a webpage, then I should decide what structure to use and instruct the designer how to slice the images etc. or they simply give me all the instructions and the graphics and the structure as well that they want?
P.S. They didn't point that out for me during the interview (and yes, I did not asked the manager either) but -- when looking at their page and their references -- I suspect they plan every single thing, and the coders and designers have to follow the plan strictly. Their webpage [wds.prakticomp.hu] is a kind of mess for me, from a structural point of view at least, and looking at their references (the sub-page named "Referenciák") I see the same: they seem to completely render the structure under the design (image-mapped menus or whole image-mapped pages [szeghalom.hu] etc.).
It looks like they use frames, image slicing and image maps a lot, so study up on that.
If they offer a task, you could say, you could use frames for that or a table....... I could make a page however you like.
