When to apply for job/internships in the summer? And also what to include in the submission package. I know some say work samples (do they mean portfolio (mulitpages, images, actual book)? And would I ever see my portfolio again.
I know its a general question but I am really trying to gain experience at a large firm like SOM, HOK, KPF. and I am interested in working in Asia. If you guys have any prior experience applying to such firms, any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Are you speaking of just a summer internship and then heading back to college in the fall? If so I highly doubt that a major firm would spend the $$ to send you to their Asian offices. It's higly expensive to expatriate an employee, especially one that is only working for 3 months.
As for applying, my rule of thumb in college was to set up interviews for spring break time so February was the month to be looking. Worked well for me and my friends.
Well I am welling to pay for the flight myself and I do have relatives living in asia so there wont be any relocation issue. Because I think SOM has an office in Shanghai. If they are interviewing in februrary should i be applying right now
job hunting time?
