It’s a pretty new site, but seems to be growing pretty fast.

Puhlease! Not enough time. By the time you leave the airport and get to your destination, you have 5 minutes before you need to be on your way back to the airport. Public transportation is way too slow. When you start the security checks, you will have no luggage since it’s a connection flight, which means security pulls you aside thinking you’re…[Read more]

thats a little encouraging

I don’t like how they showed in the picture a ginko tree, which I consider worthless…Great article though.  I am thinking about starting a non-profit urban forestry alliance in my city focusing on the health and viability a healthy tree canopy all the way to the ground… this could be good ammunition.

Interesting, so I should pay to have my neighbor plant a tree.

My job interview process took a couple of months before I was asked back to do some ride alongs.  I made sure to call back to check in with them atleast once a week until I got a response.  Even after the ride alongs I still had a week or two of calls before I was finally hired.

Thames Barrier Park is well worth a look. Design museum is interesting if weather is bad, and there’s some good landscaping along the Thames near there.

Go check out the updates being made for the Olympic sites.  Not sure what you’ll have access to.
The interior roof of the British Museum main atrium is nothing short of spectacular.  
City Hall area is near Tower of London, not London Bridge (my error)  Quite modern. 
Tate Modern area and Millennium Bridge at night, you will not find a more dynam…[Read more]

The Docklands Area I would say! If you don’t have much time, just taking the DLR towards Greenwich could get you a cool experience!

And in this economy… what makes you think that getting a higher degree will have ANY bearing on getting a job?  It will certainly put you deeper in debt!

Good recommendations. Any good, modern urban design?

I’m writing the letter now….lol
 

St. Paul’s Cathedral (if you’re going to see Westminster Abbey)
Tower of London
London Eye (so you can see LOTS of architecture from ONE spot!)
 
And if the weather sucks…The British Museum. That will burn lots of time and you get to see things you will not see anywhere else.

You are desperate, it’s OK, everyone is. They already know that.
 
You dont want to be pushy..you DO want to be persistent, and they should appreciate that.
 
A thank you email or mailer note is a good idea immediately after an interview, but it’s never a bad idea to call and say hello.
 
Good Luck!

Battersea Park
Thames riverfront outside the Tate Modern Gallery
Millennium Bridge (toward St. Pauls Cathedral from Tate)
City Hall area near London Bridge
Kings Cross and St. Pancras Stations
Regents Park

Mind the Gap!
 
 

Yes, a thank you letter is a good “By Mennen!” 
 

After the interview, did you send a thank you letter?
