This Thursday’s
trip was to the Architecture Job Expo. Here, more than 30 firms spoke with
architecture students about possible recruitment. My mission: to find and
interview one of these firms.
The firm
I ended up talking to was Humphreys and Partners. They are a residential firm,
designing mostly apartment complexes all over the country. When asked what they
were looking for in potential applicants, they said they wanted a strong
portfolio and good communication skills. GPA was also important, although it
did take a backseat place to the other things. Interns would start their
careers there by working on existing projects with higher level employees.
One of
the recruiters was an alumnus of U of I and spoke of how historic and technical
the architecture program is here.
