This is a guest post written by my friend Taylor Schaub, a 4th-year undergraduate architecture student at the Illinois Institute of Technology. She’s pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture degree with a minor in Business. Be Present. Be Present. And they weren’t just referenced.

This past week I was scheduled to be in Chicago for AIAS Forum 2013, the American Institute of Architecture Students national convention. He apologized for the confusion, thanked me for attending and presented his proposal. He requested that I speak at the second General Session as a special presentation. Have faith.

In his world, I was just a cheap architecture student day laborer. In my world, I was working around the clock, stressed out over my classes, had my own projects to worry about and was taking out big student loans in the pursuit of someday becoming an architect. Which are a dime a dozen. Check him out at YoungArchitect.com.

My answer to the question of how to get that first job is impacted by the size of firm we are and the type of culture we are trying to create in the office. Because of this, the things we look for in a candidate that is applying for their first job is how they present themselves, are they articulate and enthusiastic?

This past December I was invited to speak at AIAS Forum 2013; the American Institute of Architecture Students national convention. While we waited for the airports to open, I had the opportunity to speak in length with many of the architecture students in attendance. Be unique in your approach and presentation.

Your future in architecture depends on your ability to learn and UN-learn – letting go of how things are and imagining new possibilities. Being a successful architect takes more than creating a wonderful idea and presenting it to your client. I once had a phone call with an architecture student asking for advice.

Instead of recapping the course or giving a final exam, I share with my students a presentation titled Advice as You Finish School and Start to Practice. I present a series of statements followed up with a brief explanation. The best ideas are never incorporated into projects unless they are heard, presented, and defended.

As a result of all this extra time working – along with working in a small firm, I was given opportunities very early on in my career and I was able to take advantage of them. In order to take advantage of those opportunities when they present themselves, you need to look like your supposed to be in the room.
