Hi everyone! I am a new member to fairygodboss . I just found out about it as I saw one of the former CEO's blog about the muse and fairygodboss on substack.

Excited to have discovered this community . I am attending school right now and I soon need a job, so looking to make as many connections as I can to explore what I will do post graduation. I'm studying architecture. I just keep hearing about how entry level roles are gone so any advice, I'm here to listen

    I would suggest thinking about your design process knowledge, problem solving, and perhaps visual skills. You need to show how you can use AI to improve the employers life. Not sure if you are in architecture (buildings / bridges) or architecture (IT). Either way, the advice should apply. Note that you also want to continue working on your industry connections.

    I hope you and your school have an intern program and/or co-op studies. Check with your career services and your college /school of architecture.

    In addition get involved in groups on your campus that are major related .

    I am a co-leader of our company's Summer intern program (in addition to my regular full time position) and I can honestly say we have a high return rate of interns the following year and we probably hire around 40 to 50% of our interns into full time regular positions after graduation.

    Good luck

    Agree with getting an internship or co-op. When the entry level job posting requires 1-3 years experience, you're going to need to show some sort of employment or volunteer work or combination that adds up to that.

    Even if you can't get one because it's highly competitive, try to find a summer or part time job. Your future employer will turn their nose if you don't have some sort of work experience.

    Some students might think "If I take a 1-year internship, it'll delay my graduation". Trust me, take the job. Your education is worthless. Everyone that your prospective employer is hiring will have the same education, maybe even more or better education than you.

    I would try to connect with your schools student services, as well as recent grads to see what their experience has been like.

    Use your course load as entry level experience/applied R&D so that you're able to present a cohesive body of work and not scattered assignments.
