DePaul University

I reviewed the department website, paying attention to what courses were offered, what had not been offered in awhile, and what the expertise of the faculty was. I also thought about what courses I would like to teach and how to make the case for my expertise.

Have a strong online portfolio and bring a few printed examples with you. Dress professionally. Be confident about your work and skills. Be able to talk about a few specific topics in design which you are interested in doing the most.

Be your authentic self. Show enthusiasm about museum work. Know something about (or show interest in learning about) art & artists in Chicago (they like to focus on local artistic communities). Speak and write coherently.
