Lynch Architects How to Apply for a Job «

We’re always interested in working with good people and are particularly keen to find good qualified (post part 2 and post part 3-or equivalent) staff at the moment. I’m afraid that we get a huge number of CVs every week and if we replied to all of them we’d never get any work done….

Here’s some tips about how to get our attention.

Do:
1 write a personal letter explaining why you want to work with us
2 send us examples of your work
3 if you can, include a reference or two
4 tell us what you learnt in each project that you did and why this is relevant to what we do here

Don’t:
1 send us a letter that is obviously generic (it’s obvious when you’ve simply changed the address and the name of the addressee)
2 assume that just because you’ve been to a swanky school that we we’ll be impressed by this
3 especially if it’s in London…
4 bother if your work is so obviously on a different planet to our own (see 2 and esp. 3 above)
5 DON’T WRITE A COMMENT AS A WAY OF APPLYING FOR A JOB – write us a proper letter!

Remember that it’s really hard to find good people to work with-for us and for you.
