We know how tricky the transition from studying to practicing architecture can be, especially this year. RIBA Future Architects Prep for Practice is a new programme of support aimed at graduating Part 1 students, developed to help you in your transition to employment or to continue on with your education.
This event is aimed at Part 1 Year 3 students graduating this year but is open to all RIBA Student and Associate Members.
At a time when there are dozens of candidates applying for each position, it is easy to be fatalistic about your chances to get shortlisted for interview – let alone of securing a job.
Understanding what is required from each stage of the recruitment process will increase the likelihood of success. How can the contents and formatting of a cv and a strong supporting cover letter get you through the first hurdle? Why do you need to pay attention to the job description and research the practice that you are applying for? How can you strengthen your portfolio through its organisation? What soft and technical skills are recruiting practices looking for from Part 1 and Part 2 candidates?
In this panel session chaired by Helen Castle, Publishing Director at RIBA, recruiters from leading UK practices will shine a light on the application process from the inside.
Panel Speakers
Charlotte Sword, Global Head of Human Resources and Senior Partner, Foster and Partners.
Sonal Rathod, Head of Human Resources at PLP Architecture
