How to start your architectural job search

The architecture and design job market is competitive. Whether you’re a Part I graduate taking your first steps, or an experienced Architect ready for your next move — knowing how to approach your job search makes all the difference.

Watch the video above for Hayley’s 3 top tips, then read on.

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.
  • AE Masterclasses – learn exactly how to job search, interview, and land the role you want.
