New Archinect Feature - The Architecture Job Application: Hints & Suggestions from Employers
For those of you who check Archinect via RSS, we have a new feature online. The Architecture Job Application is the first installment in a new series of features to help architecture employers connect with architecture talent. Get better prepared for your next application with advise from employers. After that, get a job!
A common question that frequently arises in our discussion forum is how to best apply for an architecture job. Who best to answer these questions than the employers? We have contacted some of the firms that seek talent through Archinect's job board to help provide some insight.
The following questions were posed to the employers:
What do you like to see when reviewing a portfolio?
How important is presentation in the portfolio?
Should the portfolio contain a lot of work, or a smaller selection of carefully selected projects?
Do you prefer to review applications (including portfolio) in digital or hard copy format?
What recommendations can you give an applicant for the interview process?
What are the most common mistakes potential employees make on their applications?
Can you offer any other helpful information?
The following firms have been kind enough to offer their advice: Graft Architects, Rafael Vinoly Architects, Lettuce Office, Winter & Company, Mihai Radu Architects, Karin Payson Architecture + Design, Spacesmith LLP, Peter Marino Architect, Zeidler Partnership, Fiedler Marciano | Architecture, NAC Architecture, Cannon Design, and Red Top Architects.
