A studio art major or another major and significant courses in art and architectural history are recommended. Because architecture requires a comprehensive understanding of culture, it is important to have a background in municipal organization, literature, writing and presenting ideas, aesthetics, logical and ethical problem solving, collaborative work and research, and environmental sustainability, as well as in mathematics and physics.<\/p>\n<p>Relevant College Pages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

very similar to a nonprofit resume.\u00a0 The resume should focus on relevant skills &#8211;\u00a0 especially technical skills &#8211; and experiences that correlate to an architecture internship.\u00a0 Take special note of the job\/internship description and tailor your resume to highlight your own experience and background that connects to what is sought for the role.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Headings:\u00a0<\/strong>You may have enough related experience that you can create a heading \u201cRelated (or Relevant) Experience\u201d which can organize all of the related experiences (e.g. internships, leadership, co-curricular, volunteering, classroom projects, etc.) that are directly related to the position to which you are applying.\u00a0 For other work experience, consider using \u201cAdditional Work Experience\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skills:\u00a0<\/strong>When applying to a specific position, consider what skills are needed.\u00a0 This information should be indicated on the job description.\u00a0 The position may require clerical, technical, or creative skills \u2013 be sure to indicate this clearly on your resume.\u00a0 Technical Skills: Computer-aided Design software (e.g. AutoCAD, Revit)<\/p>\n<p>For tips on writing a standard resume, see our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/pipercenter\/how-to-guides\/resume-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resume How-To Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Design Resume<\/h4>\n<p>Writing a design resume will be similar to an artist resume and requires slightly different content, organization, and formatting than the standard resume. Depending on the particular job and field of interest, design resumes will highlight a number of skills and include some sections that are not present in a standard resume or academic CV.\u00a0 \u00a0Typically, it is helpful to include a link to your portfolio, often near your contact information.<\/p>\n<p>You may wish to avoid using a word processor to create your resume &#8211; consider using InDesign or Illustrator as this will allow for a more design-centric approach and showcase yours skills at the same time.\u00a0 When integrating a design approach into your resume, do not sacrifice too much content in your design &#8211; the resume still needs to convey your experience to the reader.\u00a0 Integrating colors into your resume can enhance the design &#8211; just don&#8217;t go overboard!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/pipercenter\/files\/2017\/10\/Art-_-Art-History.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sample Design Resume<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This resume sample is intended to provide a basic idea of what an arts resume can look like. Your resume may \u2013 a typically will \u2013 look different. Further, other roles within or adjacent to the visual arts may have unique modifications as well. One of the best ways to figure out how your resume should look is to explore the resumes of other professionals who are working in similar ways to what you intend to do. Many visual artists have webpages with their resumes included. An internet search is an excellent tool to discover resume version in the professional world.<\/p>\n<h4>Cover Letters<\/h4>\n<p>Cover letter are often\u00a0 an important part of landing an interview, especially in smaller organizations where the hiring manager is more likely to take the time to read the letter.\u00a0 The cover letter is intended to introduce you to the organization, express your interest in the position, and match your skills and experiences to the role.\u00a0 A well-written cover letter shows employers that you have taken the time to craft a personal response to their specific job opportunity and that you are serious about the position.. Generally a cover letter has three parts: the opening, the middle, and the closing.<\/p>\n<p>For tips on writing a cover letter, see our\u00a0<a

help an employer or client understand your creative approach.\u00a0 It&#8217;s most common to present your portfolio in a digital format online but it is still recommended to have a physical portfolio as well, particularly if you are meeting with an employer or client in-person.\u00a0 Portfolios should express your unique personality and style.<\/p>\n<p>A portfolio is needed any time there is a creative element to the opportunity you are applying for.\u00a0 If you are a creator of content, whatever the form, you can probably benefit from a portfolio.\u00a0 It is an especially critical tool
