Except for my first couple jobs out of school, all my positions have been based on a recommendation. I'm mentioned this many times before because I believe it so strongly. That way the hiring person at least has the feeling that you aren't an asshole. The path to success is to be recommended by someone, even if it is just a passing acquaintance. If you are looking for something in the middle then include both, but be sure to tailor the work to the firm.ītw, In my opinion your chances of getting a job offer based on randomly applying to listings is pretty low. The projects and work that you show should be influenced by the job you are applying for and the job that you want, a "designer" portfolio will be very different than a "technical architect" position. The link to my actual document doesn't work anymore, but the comments are valid. This is a thread i started a several years ago when I first put together a "non-academic" portfolio. Like making books like on SnapFish or others – adds to the idea of story-telling and is a classy way to present. My son interviewed this way and got into trouble with the interviewer saying "Hey, you didn’t design this – so-in-so did” – he tried to explain that it was there just for context and story-telling but the idiot couldn’t get past it – just label and give credit. I think it would be cool to start with a rendering – turn the page = SD sketches – turn the page = DD’s (maybe some occupant load calculations/code stuff) – turn the page = CD’s - turn the page = construction photos – turn the page = finished photograph - isn’t that what we do, create a progression of work? I want to hire someone who understands the progression and process – you may have not done 100% of it but it would tell the story and be interesting and show that you are more than a CadJocky.Ĭaution: If you show a rendering of a building you didn’t design attach the name of the designer and render guy (if it wasn’t you).
