Architect Career Resources

Architecture careers span design, project management, and licensure. The right resources help you find jobs, get licensed, and present your experience well.

Job Boards and Recruiters

Use Indeed, LinkedIn, and architecture-specific sites (e.g., AIA job board, Archinect). Many firms list on their own sites. Recruiters who specialize in architecture and design can help for mid-level and senior roles.

Licensure and Credentials

List your license (e.g., RA) and state(s). Include LEED or other relevant certifications. Licensure is critical for many roles and should be prominent on your resume.

Resume Tips for Architects

Highlight your license and certifications. Use bullets that show project types, scale, and outcomes (e.g., "Led design for $X project," "Managed team of X"). Include relevant software (AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp) and any leadership or client experience.
