Here's to those client meetings that extend beyond the boardroom and into the dessert menu! 🍰🍨 There's something special about a client who offers you a spoonful of their dessert. It's more than just a sweet gesture—it's a signal of trust and camaraderie that often foretells a successful partnership. When the formality of suits and handshakes gives way to the informality of shared treats, you know you've found a good client. Such moments symbolise a break in the barriers, a step closer towards genuine connection, and inevitably, fruitful collaboration. It's these relationships that transcend the transactional and venture into the realm of friendship where mutual respect is the main ingredient, and success is a shared endeavour. Remember, it's not about the dessert; it's about the sharing. In an ever-competitive landscape, those who understand the value of building real relationships are the ones who thrive. So next time your client slides that dessert plate over, know that it's about so much more than satisfying a sweet tooth—it's a taste of great things to come. 🤝 (Picture from Bibo Restaurant in Shoreditch where I met one of our lovely clients....and yes I had a bit of both 😉) #ClientRelationships #PartnershipGoals #SweetSuccess White Space Recruitment

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲? Having 10 years experience within the Architectural sector, many candidates ask me what is the best way to create and present their portfolio when applying for a role. Obviously there isn't one size fits all approach but here are some tips and guidance. ☑ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Choose a diverse range of projects that demonstrate your skills and versatility. Include a mix of academic, professional, and personal projects. ☑ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Clearly present each project with a brief introduction, context, and your specific role. Include high-quality images, renderings, and diagrams to effectively communicate your design. ☑ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Showcase your design process through sketches, concept development, and iterations. Include any relevant models or prototypes. Technical Drawings: Demonstrate your proficiency in technical aspects by including drawings, plans, sections, and elevations. ☑ 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Write a brief narrative for each project, explaining the design concept, challenges faced, and solutions implemented. Digital and Print Versions: Create both digital and print versions of your portfolio for different presentation contexts. ☑ 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Consider creating a personal website or utilizing professional platforms to host your portfolio online. Some practices still prefer a printed version so always offer both. ☑ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Regularly update your portfolio to include new projects and experiences. ☑ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: Seek feedback from peers, mentors, or industry professionals to improve your portfolio. ☑ 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗯: Customize your CV and portfolio for each job application, highlighting skills and experiences relevant to the position. Remember, both your CV and portfolio serve as reflections of your skills and experiences, so take the time to present them in the best possible light. Remember the objective of a portfolio is an example of your work and what skills you can bring to a practice. Discuss projects involved, ideas, software and tell a story with your examples.
