Mandy replied to the topic Article: College and Business Will Never Be the Same in the forum PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 13 years, 8 months ago
I think it’s really important for A/E students to be exposed and be trained on how the real world works. I’ve been on several projects where the project manager thinks as long as the drawings are out on time and the project is under budget, he/she did a good job. Project management isn’t as simple as that and neither is running a business. Yo…[Read more]

Mandy replied to the topic A crappy job is better than no job at all….right? How low would you go? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 13 years, 9 months ago
Ah yes…the dilemma of having a crappy job or no job at all…I’ve pondered the exact same question for the past 1.5 yr. coming very close to quitting multiple times. In the end, the pros of staying at a crappy job outweighed the cons. The logic goes something like this:

Ah yes, of course, cause everyone knows everyone…just love updating my resume, reaffirms the fact that I am indeed overworked and underpaid, but who isn’t??? On top of that I don’t even get a cool title, what’s up with that?(My rant for the day). Thanks for the advice and Happy Holidays everyone!

Mandy replied to the topic Resume Question: What is your title if…. in the forum PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 13 years, 10 months ago
Thanks for the pointers. How much do these titles count anyways? My title, if anything, would be landscape designer, but as a designer I have managed projects.
