Thank you very much for your comment Glenn, I enjoy designing spaces for people a loooottt, and feel fortunate to be in LA. Just getting a bit impatient about finding a LA job lol. 

Kai, I would say keep it to one page. That is what I always try to do. Cutting out something less important every time I have something to add to it. Although if you feel you have enough pertinent material to add, do so. But definitely no longer than 2 pages. I personally like the one pager.

Might take a while, all I can say is stick with it if…[Read more]

Hi everyone, so nice to have a place for discuss about Landscape Architecture. I recently graduated from LA program, and looking for a job. How long should resume be for a new graduate?

Nice drawing! I would like to know if your sketch was made over a 3D SketchUp model. 

The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) is gaining momentum with an announcement they have certified the nation’s first three projects.  As a landscape architect professional, would you become a SITES AP?

Hi Oona, I was involved in the Redwood Empire Chapter when I lived in Sonoma County. It did help me with networking and learning about specific sustainability topics. Suzan

As far as looking for jobs: the ones that generally apply to college grads would be ‘…[Read more]

I remember the saying “Those that can’t do – teach”
 

Hey Page:
 
You need to really get a clue here. It appears your somewhat disconnected from the true reality of the marketplace. Let me be specific, in case you can’t be.
There is massive unemployment in the design professions and thast has been pervasive going on nearly three years. You are offering a “sure-fire” or “near-fire” portfolio and…[Read more]

Sami,
One of my recent students listed their current job as “landscape architect in training” to avoid this snafu.
I would suggest visiting the ASLA job board to see how others with your level of experience are handling it.  Here are some samples of student portfolio websites that include resumes for other ideas on wording and layout: Samples r…[Read more]

I have a quick question about resumes.  I will be graduating this coming May will my BLA.  I am in the process of cleaning up my resume and cover letter.  In looking for jobs to apply for, I always search landscape architecture, since that is my specific degree.  I am not yet, however, a registered landscape architect since I am entry level.  Ca…[Read more]

@Chris. The guide from mr. Haskin is terrific. Thanks a lot for sharing this, very useful. I was wondering how to get this effect for quite a long time, since I am autodidactic. Appreciate it.

Hi Daniel!
I became a promember of Land8 and I´m seeing some of Daniel Tal´s webinars on Sketchup. They are really easy to follow and very useful. There are also some photoshop webinar recordings but I haven´t been able to see those yet.
Hope this helps!
