Student Resources: Portfolio + Resume
Resumes and architecture portfolios are needed to apply for graduate school, work, and internships and should be arranged attractively, neatly, and concisely: Form is as important as content. Be sure to include only your best work, and organize material logically. Consider your audience and make sure to completely proofread to eliminate all errors. Closely study architecture firm websites to understand appropriate and desirable graphics.
Positions are often won or lost on first impressions. Rearranging your portfolio for an interview sends a clear signal that you are serious about the opportunity.
