Your CV is not a biography, it is the first clear case for why a practice should meet you. Before a hiring manager sees your portfolio in depth, your CV needs to make your experience, level, sector knowledge and contribution easy to understand.

At AE Recruitment, we help architects and designers create CVs that work in the real world: readable by applicant-tracking systems, easy for busy hiring teams to scan and strong enough to position you for the opportunities you want. That means moving beyond outdated rules, overly designed layouts and long lists of responsibilities that do not show the value you bring.

Our CV advice covers structure, content, project selection, wording and how to communicate your experience with confidence. The aim is simple: make it immediately clear not only where you have worked, but what you have delivered, where you add value and why a studio should take the next step.
