Thanks for the tips. I’m a landscape designer who likes to pursue art on the side. Why wouldnt you hire a car mechanic who also says he’s a plumber? The next time you have a plumbing problem you can just hire the same guy.

Thank you. So you suggest that I  throw in some prelimary sketches in there?

You’re looking way too much into things.

Thank you very much. I’ll double check the grammar again.

A shocking self-admission.  I like to argue about anything and everything. I will give you props for what the rest of us already know and come to expect whenever you show up here. I would just ask you add  this  “almost reliably incoherent when I do and generally without much factual basis”, That would then be a complete and spot on se…[Read more]

Trace, I was just rambling. I like to argue about anything and everything. PSU alums should burn their diplomas.

maui, some of my favorite guys are at Penn State LA –  it has a direct connection to Ian McHargs Upenn era, and those guys have it going for them..I really do wonder about Penn State LA, which is HUGE, and this football thing..I should ask them..Has it hurt them? Why would LA be tied to this scandal, football, more than the documentary on Penn St…[Read more]

None of this matters anyway. The world is going to end on December 21, 2012!! So forget everything else and go out there and live it up. Party like its 1999!..

The funniest part is that there are still students trying to become landscape architects or worse, they just started MLA programs. Try to avoid Penn State Univ at all cost.

Another step towards replacing hard copies of construction documents with interactive BIM holograms. They need to assimilate all media platforms to become experts in how mental conceptions are communicated visually.

live screen sharing/video conferencing?? world domination?

You might want to look at your university’s student organizations department, graduate school, and other on campus resources for funds available for student travel.. At FIU, we are given some money if we go to conferences and then present what we learned when we return.  Also, our state’s ASLA chapter gives us money each semester if we request…[Read more]

I have no way of knowing this, but I think we both follow the same financial journalist sources, or close enough for me to concur with your salient point here. I think by now, and others who are frequenters to this website, that I am on the other side of the world and the financial and economic perspective from here is worth comparing.…[Read more]

Not quite, I’ve seen this same concept pushed by a wide array of financial journalists the last month or so, maybe not to the alarmist exetent, but echoing the lack of a substantial and sustained recovery. Earning are down and razor thin, and the real worry comes in the form of earnings projections that are on par with the worst of 2008.

Alumni and your university are your best bets – professionals have a hard enough time, but the well-networked student might get a dedicated alum or two to chip in; or just get a student ASLA award.

i get the feeling in the us it’s more than 15%…

Nice work – east coast firms have all been actively looking though a lot of us are skittish about adding staff but many already have; hope you’ve been hammering on the UGA network, there’s a lot of em out here.
Good luck.

That’s why I’m looking for work outside of the US…

Overall, it’s a very nice presentation. I agree with many of the suggestions others have posted here. I noticed several typos/grammar errors in your captions that should definitely be fixed before sending this out to potential employers.

I saw that one at the hotel Del C.  Its beautiful!  I was going to guess that this was on the island of Socotra, also a Yemeni island.  Its known for unusual flora and fauna.
 

Just remember that its not your fault.  These companies just have no need to hire right now.  I don’t even get rejection letters most of the time!  The country is not in building mode right now.  All I see under construction in my area are dollar stores and hospitals!
