Architect Resume Example

An architect is hired on the portfolio, but screened on the resume. The page has to prove registration, project types and the work stages you have actually run — concept is a different job from technical design and site inspection. Keep it disciplined and let the portfolio do the visual arguing.

Expert tips

Architect CV'sinde nelere dikkat edilmeli?

The details specific to this role that most candidates miss.

Link the portfolio in the contact block

It is the first thing opened. A link buried at the bottom, or missing entirely, is the most common self-inflicted wound on an architecture resume.

Name the work stages you ran

Concept, technical design, site inspection — practices hire for particular stages, and being specific gets you shortlisted for the right one.

Approvals are a result

Planning permissions secured, especially in constrained or conservation contexts, are outcomes with real commercial value. Count them.

Frequently asked questions

About the Architect resume

Should the resume be visually designed?

Restrained and well set, yes — it demonstrates typographic judgement. Heavily designed resumes tend to parse badly and distract from the portfolio.

How many projects should I include?

Five or six with your role and stage stated. The portfolio carries the visual range; the resume establishes what you actually did on each.

What if my registration is from another country?

State it plainly along with any recognition process you have started. Practices deal with this regularly and would rather know upfront.
