What should you pay attention to when applying for an architectural designer job?

The design industry is different from other industries in that you can directly display your abilities at certain levels to the recruiter, and the other party can decide whether to recruit you through your work, which is direct and clear. There is no need to peel off layers of cocoons to test and test your abilities, and it also saves a lot of unnecessary early communication. But that doesn’t mean you can ignore your resume! A resume is a summary and summary of your work experience. It should not only show your personal value, but also let the recruiter see your qualifications and development prospects.

1. Resume: In addition to basic information, the most important thing is to clearly describe your work trajectory and the results achieved. Simply put, it is to use the least words to explain your value in the previous position. For example, under what circumstances did you achieve what results through what efforts, etc... Try to digitize the content that cannot be concreted, so that HR can clearly see your abilities. Try to keep your resume concise and to the point. A page and a half of A4 paper is best. If it is too long, it will make people feel bored (this is not absolute). The layout should be clear, concise, and focused. Don’t make your resume beautiful just because you are a designer and ignore the excellent content. However, it is not a bad thing to use your creativity appropriately. The next step is to display your works. You need to select high-quality and representative works for the other party to see (not too many or too few, it depends on your work.). Don’t show all the excellent works, but leave some of them for the interview. Let the other person see it! (Personally think: Don’t let the recruiter see all your abilities, it’s not necessarily a bad thing!)

2. Interview: What you need to pay attention to during the interview is to be modest and polite, express your personality appropriately, and say Just let the other person know your personality and abilities. Don't be submissive or overly pretentious. Interviews in the design industry do not necessarily go through HR. Another way is to screen and interview you through your direct supervisor (design department manager). Generally, if such a person is willing to interview you, it means that he has a certain degree of recognition of your work. In this case, communicate frankly and decide whether the work is suitable for both parties (similar to a blind date).
