    Show Your Design Process in Your Portfolio

    For this role, hiring managers want to see how you turn a vague customer idea into a concrete tile selection. Bring a portfolio that shows mood boards, color palettes, and before/after visuals.

    1. Tailor your portfolio to tile and hard surfaces: Highlight projects where you specified tiles, layouts, and material combinations. If you lack tile-specific work, create a mock project using MICASSO products.

    2. Prepare for a live design consultation: You may be asked to walk through a scenario with a mock customer. Practice asking about space, lifestyle, and budget, then recommend a coordinated selection.

    3. Show your ability to visualize: Even simple sketches or 3D concepts can set you apart. Include examples of how you translate floor plans into visual concepts.

    4. Understand the product range: Research MICASSO tiles and their applications. Be ready to discuss finishes, sizes, and patterns.

    5. Emphasize collaboration: This role works closely with sales consultants. Give examples of how you've supported sales teams or worked in retail environments.

    6. Highlight your commercial awareness: Show that you can balance design with budget and order value. Mention any experience with upselling or cross-selling.

    7. Prepare questions about the showroom: Ask about customer demographics, typical projects, and how design consultations are currently handled.

    8. Be ready to discuss trends: Talk about current interior design trends relevant to tiles, such as large formats, textured finishes, or indoor-outdoor transitions.
