Standing out is everything
Every week we speak to architects and designers who are applying for roles and not hearing back. In most cases, it’s not their experience that’s the problem — it’s their approach.
Practices aren’t just hiring on technical skills. They want to see someone who’s researched them, understands their work, and has taken the time to present themselves properly. The candidates who do this get interviews. The ones who don’t, blend into the pile.
If you want to give your job search a real boost, we offer:
- CV Review – get expert feedback on what’s working and what’s not.
- Portfolio Review – make sure your work is telling the right story.
