We’re looking for new junior designers!
On Thursday 28th of November 2024, from 9.30 until 13.30 we will be hosting our eleventh Job Day. On this morning, we invite promising candidates to show their best side. Are you graduating in 2025? We are also interested in you!
What is Job Day?
The day starts at 9.30h with an assessment, during which we present you a number of Mijksenaar cases. This gives us insight into your graphic, spatial, analytical and other skills. In the following rounds you will have interviews with designers and project leaders. During the interviews we have the opportunity to dive a little deeper into the cases and see if there is a click. Finally, you’ll speak with someone from the management. After each round, a number of candidates are eliminated and if you make it to the end you will have the opportunity of being the newest Junior Designer at Mijksenaar!
The Job Day takes place at our office in Amsterdam, so between the rounds you have the chance to get a taste of the atmosphere and chat with your possible future colleagues.
Send your letter and CV to jobs@mijksenaar.com before November 25th. And of course, block November 28th in your calendar on the chance you are chosen!
