I have sections 3 &4 left to take; unfortunately it seems that Florida ASLA is not currently offering a LARE Review.  Given that I will be required to travel out of state to attend a review, does anyone have any recommendations in regards to who does offer a good LARE review or who I should avoid?

I need to get started on taking Section 1 and 2 of the Lare and I need help on where to start. HELP!

Allright, sounds good, I’ll contact few firms directly then. Thanks a lot!

If the firm is interested in what you have to offer it’s usually not a problem. There is always a shortage of landscape architects in HK, so there are always a few firms hiring. Your past projects and portfolio are important.

@Michael, No I am still in the EU, do you reckon is feasible to get a job from here? 

I suggest just sending your CV and portfolio to any companies you’re interested in, and take it from there. Are you in Hong Kong at the moment?

@Albert thanks a lot for the info, I’ll take a look! 

@Alessandro try going to the companies’ websites.  If not sometimes you will have luck in recruit.com.hk and jobsdb.com

Hi there,

I am a Graduate Landscape Architect, looking into some job opportunities in Hong Kong. Despite the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architecture, could you suggest other web sites where to look for jobs? Is there any firm hiring at the moment? 

Thank you,

Ale.

You should try out Hassell, Aedas, good ol’ Belt Collins, Earthasia and even Aecom. I also just read that ERM’s on the look out too.
 
Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to HK in January and will be looking for work with an LAR firm. I’m currently back in the US but worked in Beijing for 7 months last year and Shanghai for 6 months this year. I’m looking to stay in HK for at least 2-3 years, maybe permanently. I’ve been looking online for firms hiring but figured I would post something here…[Read more]

Is anyone aware of a Section 4 review class in Colorado this fall?

I still have seats in my Section 1 and 2 class on August 11-12. Accepting applications on Tuesday. I fyou need registration materials or detailed info re the course, please e-mail me at rayfreeman3@comcast.net

I still have the preparatory materials that I made available in April (see below).  Even though the test is changing formats, this material is still sold through the PPI website – don’t be fooled by the new packaging…it’s the same thing and they haven’t yet figured out how to adapt to the new format  (see here for a direct comparison of the r…[Read more]

I live in Upper Marlboro, MD, and am preparing for Sections 3 & 4 in December. Any DC/Baltimore/NoVa candidates doing the same? I’ve got all my study books and old vignettes, but it could be nice to know others in the same boat.
