Get Hired!

And get your career flying

This mini workshop will show you how to increase your chances of getting hired in a firm of your choice.


Selecting your workplace isn't just a decision; it's the critical juncture where your architectural passion and expertise either thrive or stagnate. 

Your employment choices determine your career trajectory and this mini-workshop will help you stand out like a 100m cantilever to your favourite firms, even if you are not the best in class or have a limited portfolio. 99% of job applicants make the same mistakes, ending up with mediocre applications that don’t even get a response from hiring managers. 

This mini-workshop helps you avoid the most common pitfalls, how they can be overcome, and what other strategies you can use to put a smile on the hiring manager's face. It will also cover what you can do if you are not hired.

“I have received hundreds of job applications over the years and have deleted almost every single one of them. I see the same, completely avoidable mistakes over and over. These mistakes may seem small, but they are a total turn-off for employers. Architecture can be a truly wonderful profession and I want to raise the tide for us all. One way to do this is to help young architects stand tall and proud.” 

- Thorsten
