Helpful Hints: Initial Contact
1. The hiring department is made up of full-time architects and interior designers, so it is difficult for us to respond effectively to phone inquiries. Please correspond with us by mail or e-mail. It is also difficult for us to respond effectively to short notice requests for interviews, so please plan ahead, especially if you are visiting from another city.
2. We respond best to concise, well-organized resumes, with examples of your design work attached. We prefer cover letters that are short and to the point. If you send an electronic document via e-mail or a link to a web site, please make sure it can be opened and printed from either Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat programs. Please be conscious of file size and make sure that it is easy for us to review your submission.
3. We will send you a response letter confirming receipt and indicating whether or not we would like to meet with you.
Helpful Hints: The Interview
We are an office of “architectural” generalists interested in hiring people who are drawn to all aspects of architectural practice. This includes conceptual design, management, client relations, construction documents, overseeing consultants, mentoring less experienced architects, and overseeing construction. We will be looking for a passion for design combined with the ability to work on a team.
2. Interviews typically last about half an hour. It is critical we see examples of your design abilities and working documents (if applicable), please pre-select those examples that you feel best describe you and your abilities.
3. Bribes of expensive chocolates will not be accepted.
