Designer moving to NYC

lsobol

I'm moving to NYC in a couple weeks and after a summer 'internship' will be looking to begin a permanent position in Aug/Sept.

Does anyone know of any employment agencies in NYC that specialize in design/architectural placing?

Know of any websites were job openings are posted?

Archinect?
newyork-architects.com
craigslist (last resort IMHO)
nytimes.com(just look for the jobs section and type in architect)
aiany.org

You could do the employment agencies(Microsol and I cant remember the name of the other one) but they will just force you into a soul sucking CAD monkey position at a LCD firm-they work on commission and just want to get your ass into a seat. August and September is a good time to get hired,so it might be better to just make a list of the places you would actually want to work at,research them,work on your portfolio after work hours and apply there-you will be a better fit and give a better interview at those firms. And you have a better chance of having a fulfilling experience at a firm if you werent herded in there by a third party.

Also try the AIA and NY Times online.

CFA (consulting for architects) is another 3rd party agency.... they place you in temporary positions (hourly pay, no benefits.. you're freelance and they make commission off of you). it's not a good long term solution, but perhaps a good way to check out a a variety of offices before committing yourself to one.

however, this is a great time to get hired in new york. there are so many jobs open, and my firm even has a hard time hiring because there are so many options out there for job seekers right now.
