There are simply no jobs,” was a response I was once told when speaking to a high school student during my final year of undergraduate study.

If you haven’t yet prepared your Life Plan, I invite you to follow the steps presented and document your dreams, visions and goals. How can I make Entrepreneur Architect even more valuable for the sole proprietor and small firm architect? Live Events. Another goal for 2014 is to develop a series of live events.

There were hundreds of architecture students graduating that spring and they were all competing for the same few positions available in the region. I delivered my new “marketing material” personally to each of the local firms near my home and each time I was stopped at the reception desk and greeted professionally. Be Creative.

This past week I was scheduled to be in Chicago for AIAS Forum 2013, the American Institute of Architecture Students national convention. The panel was scheduled for the event’s first of four General Sessions. Flying to Chicago on January 2nd would have me missing the entire event. Well… that was not going to work.

We decided to submit our proposal for an event called “Planning a Practice”, which would bring together an Architect, attorney, finance, and branding/strategic marketer to teach young architects the fundamental skills for starting their own practice. Finally, the day of the event came and we had about 30 participants for this local event.

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.
