not bad. you don't necessarily need text on the first page, that could be in your cover letter which you could then tailor to a specific firm. i'd also consider making a condensed portfolio of either your best work or your professional work, if you have any. you portfolio isn't overly long, but sometimes a quick 2-5 pages of highlights is the correct way to go, especially if you're just applying enmasse via craigslist or email

Nice. A lot better than most I've seen even for long term positions. I like the range of diagrams to renderings - could use some hand sketches/drawings if you have them.
Per Dangermouse: a more limited work sample would be good to have to send out to firms

Thanks for the thoughts! What's the typical strategy for an abbreviated sample--two or three best projects - one project per page? Or Can I just extract a couple multi page spreads from my book?
work sample: 3~5 pages to show skill set; this could either be the best images of single project per page or by type (CAD details, renderings, models, diagrams, sketches). I find the 3 projects + digital skills + hand skills to be the most compelling.
In preparation for summer internship applications. Would greatly appreciate some fresh eyes and feedback.
