When & Where
The School of Architecture Job Fair
Where: Architecture Building second floor lobby
When: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Wednesday,
The annual School of Architecture Job Fair lets landscape, interior design and architecture students meet with firms and companies to find a job.
The fair takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Architecture Building’s second floor lobby.
“12 vendors are confirmed,” said Ana Peredo-Manor, School of Architecture administrative assistant. “I believe the job fair will give insights on interviewing.”
Alex Dahm, American Institute of Architecture Students UTA chapter president, said students looking for an internship or job can network with professional firms.
“Two years ago, the architecture job fair had 60 firms and the last year we had 19 vendors,” he said. “We contacted 300 firms, only 12 are able to attend.”
Dahm said this is because a lot of firms are not hiring.
“The recent economic downturn could be a reason,” he said. “Some firms might not have representatives.”
Students are encouraged to bring their résumés and portfolios.
“If students want to get real world experience, they should attend the job fair,” Dahm said. “It gives an opportunity for students to find employment in the architecture field. I will set up a booth to give information about AIAS and recruit members.”
The Beck Group and HKS Inc. are some organizations confirmed to attend the fair. |
