CV workshops and mock interviews, Part 1 Year 3

We are very grateful to Romy Berlin from Allies and Morrison for her insightful talk about graphic layout of CVs, cover letters and portfolios. Discussing fonts, font sizes, margins, tonality, but also inviting the students to see text based documents like a design project, to give the white space in between text blocks/images similar attention given to spaces in between buildings.

Following the workshop, the students were assigned an architectural practice for a mock interview. A big thank you to the interviewers. It was a fantastic experience, and the subsequent written feedback was gratefully received by the students.
