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.

Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one  far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.
I have no qualms with the value and utility of your online course, I just find the asking price, far too steep and so would most…[Read more]

Sami, 
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’. 
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]

JMW,
 
Many LA’s practice planning as a portion of their work. However, I hear much less of any public sector planners who also practice Landscape Architecture. I don’t have enough experience to consider my opinion credible as to why that seems to be the case, but I believe the understanding of “high design” as opposed to “conforming with the…[Read more]

So you’re a planner and LA?

Anyone…? Hello?

great idea this group! it is exactly what i was looking for! 🙂

Hello Andrew, If you wish to give me a “Landscape Layout Drawing” them I can better suggest what plants should go where for you, Along with an itemized Bill of Quantities for Plants, Materials, Soil and other landscaping factors to be including in the approximate costs. I would like to know if we at JGW Specialists can be included on the list of…[Read more]

Peter,  your comment about approaching your portfolio from a print format perspective is interesting.  I think many of us who spend a lot of time at the drawing board suffer from this, and moving our personal work to digital format is a jump for some.  I think that if you have a standardized filing system in place that is reflected on your co…[Read more]

Many Thanks for the Links Graham.
