Projects.

We have placed Architects, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Masterplanners and Urban Designers on some of the Middle East’s most exciting, challenging and creative projects.

This 30 Minute Review is built from the exact standards those Tier 1 studios use when deciding who to interview and who to ignore.

Below are just some of the projects and studios we have recruited for, the masterclass trains you to meet that same standard.

We’re here to help you raise the bar so you can present yourself at the same level as the studios and projects you want to work on.

What happens during our session

This is not a generic coaching call and it is not a sales conversation. It is a fast, focused review designed to help you understand what is holding you back and what to do next, whether that is your portfolio, CV, LinkedIn, interview strategy, job search approach or positioning in the market.

You bring the question that matters most right now. Hayley gives you honest insight, practical direction and a clear next step you can act on immediately.

You can use this session for any of the following, but the goal is always the same: to leave with a clear next step you can act on immediately.

  • Portfolio feedback
  • CV / resume positioning
  • LinkedIn profile review
  • Job search strategy
  • Interview preparation

We have called this offering “30 minute review” for a reason. Pick your topics, to select how long you’d like to dedicate to each area of your job search. 1
