Congrats, Tanya.  Can you point me to Andrew G’s instructions.

I haven’t seen the list, but did they replace Time Saver Standards with Landscape Architectural Graphic Standards? This book is composed of people who help write/grade the exam. It’s also a little more recent than Time Saver Standards.

Dennis,
Thanks again for the informative info. It’s opened my eyes to take a different approach, and try to seek out the less sought after jobs; there is a better chance they are available. A classmate of mine, actually does a lot of work for Wal-mart. Believe it or not they are firm pushers of the ”green” movement, more so than most if not all the big box stores. His company had heavy layoffs because Wal-mart evaluated their business practices and did not build any new stores in ’08.

I made it through about 4 layoffs, and got hit right before Christmas. I’m learning now, I would’ve been better off getting cut with the first batch of people. Now the competition in the Nashville area is overwhelming. You could look at it from the other side and say,”I got to keep my job for 4 more months then they did….”

Dennis,
Thanks for the link. I’ve been searching quite diligently for non traditional la jobs, but it seems almost everyone else is as well. I’ve also been applying more to design build firms because they are the only ones who still have steady work coming in the door. I’m curious, how did you get involved with K-mart?

Anyone know how to find firms that work primarily in the Public Sector?

I attended the above mentioned UGA workshop. Pretty invaluable info. It’s worth it if you can attend.

Steve,
We’re still in the design development stages, but it looks like development is wanting an all stainless steel pool(4′ depth) to avoid leaks, basically a big bathtub. As far as the build up, I don’t know. We’re all rookies on Rooftop Design.

Ron,
The whole foods in Austin has a pretty sweet display by G-sky.

“I’d like to ask where you found a copy of Business Law for Landscape Architects? I can’t find it for sale anywhere on the internet! I already have Ready Set Practice – is it worth trying to locate the Business Law book as well? Thanks!”

Christine,
I tried to locate thus book, but it was no where on the web. I contacted one of the authors, who put me intouch with the publisher, but no luck. It is out of print. Good luck…let me know if you find some copies.

-Cliff
