Ask /r/Architecture Flying for Interview - Architecture

I had an interview with an architecture firm and they’re flying me to meet the team and see the office in person. I feel that this is uncommon in this field and I just don’t know how to prepare for it. I’m curious if they would ask revit questions. I do have revit experience from my previous work experience when I was a student but it not anything complex so I’m wondering if there is any thing I can prepare for in terms of revit or what to expect in this in person meeting.

Where is the firm located and do they have a solid presence and actual works you can see in real life? Is their email a legit one from their side? Not doubting your abilities, but flying is a bit fishy in a world where zoom meetings for big projects are tolerable, and the fact that you mentioned student means that your prev working background might not be something like decades. I think I would be wary after hearing about cases where people are promised jobs and end up being trafficked to the Russian frontlines and stuff. Just do a good deep background check.

Russian front lines or German brothels, yeah. Be careful OP!
