First Interview

Recently I travelled up to Newcastle to attend an interview for a Part 1 Architectural Assistant position at a Building Development company. Despite the position not being exactly what I'm looking for, for my year out placement, it was a great chance to develop my interviewing skills. I am aiming to attend the University of Newcastle's Masters in Architecture course after my year out,  getting the chance to live and work in the city prior to the course would be a great experience.

Overall I believe the interview went rather well. I was interviewed by 3 employees, of which one of them was the current holder of the position I was to take over. We talked through the collection of my work and went through the role I was to play within the company. I am yet to hear back as more interviews are being undertaken before they can make a final decision.

I decided to create a portfolio (below) with a greater collection of my work to go through during the interview. Unlike my previous portfolios which were meant to be purely a taster of my skills, while creating this one I aimed to show everything I could without boring the interviewers too much.

On another note I have just handed in my Management, Practice & Law module submission along with a Technical & Environmental Report for the Urban Design Module. So its been a busy few weeks, now for a little break before getting back on with Urban Design work for my final undergraduate Crit on 29th May.

I am currently also waiting for marks back for my Dissertation and a smaller essay based on the Modernism Movement, once I have the marks of both I will upload the essays.

That's it for now, I hope your interested in the work which I'm currently undergoing, If not then no harm no fowl.
