Mistakes Killing Your Architecture Career Before It Starts 🚫

I see talented grads every year wondering why they get no replies.

The truth?

It’s rarely because of “not enough talent”…

It’s because of mistakes like:

1️⃣ Choosing trendy software instead of industry-standard tools
2️⃣ Ignoring sustainability in designs
3️⃣ Jargon-packed CVs that confuse recruiters
4️⃣ Underestimating soft skills in interviews
5️⃣ Skipping BIM basics
6️⃣ Messy, overcomplicated boards
7️⃣ Not building a network until it’s too late

I’ve seen grads fix just one of these…
…and suddenly start getting interviews within weeks.

💡 Here’s your quick win:
Pick ONE from this list and fix it this week with tips on how in bio

I used to call it a “work session.”
But really, it was just 3 hours of playing musical chairs with browser tabs, sipping coffee like a connoisseur, and experiencing a mild existential crisis. 😵‍💫

Then I stumbled upon the Pomodoro Technique.
Now? I’m a 25-minute sprinting champion, taking 5-minute breaks like a pro, and actually getting stuff done.
No burnout. No nonsense. Just completed tasks.

Did you know buildings need IDs? 👀
Not for code. Not for permits.
For every floor, wall, and finish inside them.

🧬 Material Passports track what it is, where it came from, and how it can be reused.
It’s circular design made practical and real architects are already doing it.

💭 Ask yourself:
Can your building be taken apart?
Can your materials be tracked?
Can your design live again?

📖 Full breakdown, examples + challenge in the blog → [link in bio]
