FGM Architects’ Post

I spoke to a candidate recently who had told me he had various recruiters working for him and resulted in his newly updated CV and Portfolio being sent to his current boss! It turned out this agent had sent his details to 100s of companies including his current practice without consent. A case of throw enough (cough) at the wall and something will stick. This resulted in a very awkward conversation and nearly losing his current role. As a professional in the industry, especially in Architecture, reputation is highly important and your portfolio should be treated with care. If you are working with an agency, feel free to ask them a few things before handing over your CV and Portfolio. 𝟭) 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿? 𝟮) 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟯 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝟯) 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵? 𝟰) 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀?  𝟱) 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲? If they cannot answer most of these with experience and confidence then you need to ask yourself how effectively they will represent you. Will it be of benefit or a potential damage to your creditability and reputation as an Architectural professional? Why not contact the best and the longest serving Architectural consultant in Sussex. ☎️ 𝟬𝟳𝟰𝟵𝟲𝟯𝟴𝟱𝟴𝟬𝟲 ✉️ 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹.𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘆@𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁.𝗰𝗼𝗺 💻 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁.𝗰𝗼𝗺

If you’re gearing up for an interview in the interior design world, you’re in the right place. Here are some tips to help you shine: 1. Showcase Your Portfolio: This is your time to shine! Make sure your portfolio is organised and highlights a variety of your best work. 2. Understand the Company’s Style: Do your homework on the company. Familiarise yourself with their design philosophy and past projects. 3. Be Creative and Solution-Oriented: During the interview, you might be given a design challenge or asked how you would handle a specific situation. 4. Ask Thoughtful Questions: Remember, interviews are a two-way street. Prepare some questions about the team, the company’s future projects, or the tools and software they use. 5. Practice, Practice, Practice: Confidence comes with practice. Do mock interviews with friends or mentors, and get comfortable talking about your work and experiences. Remember, your creativity and passion are your greatest assets. Be yourself, stay positive, and let your love for design shine through. #InteriorDesign #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice #DesignYourFuture #AceTheInterview #BusinessOfDesign #StudioAarushiBafna

🏗️🏢 Architects and Designers: Showcase Your Project Portfolio in Your CV! 🏡🌆 Your CV isn't just a list of skills and responsibilities; it's your professional story. Don't forget to tell it in full! Here's why specifying the projects, sectors, and even construction values is crucial: 1️⃣ Showcase Your Expertise: Let your CV scream, "I've got experience!" Highlighting the specific projects you've worked on gives employers insight into your capabilities. It's not just about knowing design; it's about applying it effectively in real-world scenarios. 2️⃣ Demonstrate Versatility: Different sectors demand different skills. By specifying sectors (e.g., residential, commercial, healthcare, etc.), you show that you're either adaptable and have a diverse skill set, or that you have a particular project specialism that a company might be looking for. Your experience in high-rise apartments may not be the same as in heritage restorations, but both are valuable! 3️⃣ Quantify Your Impact: Mentioning the construction values of projects adds another layer of credibility. It shows you've handled the responsibility of managing budgets and resources, a critical skill in this industry. 4️⃣ Capture Attention: Employers receive countless CVs. Make yours stand out! A well-crafted list of projects you've contributed to will catch their eye and set you apart from the competition. 5️⃣ Tell Your Story: Your CV should reflect your journey and the projects that define it. Whether it's that iconic museum or a sustainable housing project, each tells a piece of your story as a professional. In many cases, you might not have the chance to share your portfolio when applying through job boards or online application portals. This could lead to you being potentially overlooked by hiring managers who might struggle to find the specific project experience they seek. Remember, first impressions can have a profound influence when you're in the process of job hunting. Don't hold back; let your CV paint the full picture. 💼🎨 Your projects are your portfolio, and they deserve the spotlight! #Architecture #Designers #CVTips #ArchitectureJobs #CareerAdvice
