A Journey to Securing a Renowned Firm Offer Meet our client, a talented architecture graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. With ArchK’s help, he embarked on his job search two and a half months before graduation. Here’s his perspective on how he secured an offer: In October, just a few months before graduation, ArchK started helping me make a schedule to prepare my portfolio, making me realize the urgency of job hunting. Amidst my final coursework, I dedicated over a month to creating my portfolio and sent out my resume. Within a week, I received an interview. Preparation Before the Interview: ArchK stressed that 70% of success depends on the person. I received referrals and advice from SOM friends, boosting my preparation and reducing anxiety. I refined my portfolio to showcase my strengths and align with that firm's style, focusing on a key project that secured the offer. Mock Interviews and Practice: Initially, I resisted preparing, but ArchK insisted on Zoom mock interviews. These revealed several issues, prompting revisions and practice until I was confident. Recording and listening to my explanations helped refine my responses, especially for technical sections. Unexpected Situations During the Interview: During the interview, the routine shifted when the interviewer tested my technical understanding with probing questions. Fortunately, my thorough preparation covered most of these questions. ArchK’s videos were instrumental in my preparation. My experience was similar to a classmate’s: gathering information about the interviewer, establishing connections, and aligning my portfolio with the frim's preferences. Job searches in the US often span months, but I was fortunate to secure an offer quickly thanks to the right timing, skills, and thorough preparation. #JobHunting #CoverLetterTips #JobSearch #InterviewPrep #CareerAdvice #JobApplication #ResumeWriting #ProfessionalDevelopment #EmploymentTips #JobSeekers #CareerTips #JobOpportunities #EmploymentSkills #JobSkills #Networking #CareerSuccess #JobInterview #coverletter #template
