HOW TO GET / CHANGE A JOB IN RELATED FIELD

An architectural education prepares you for professional life not only in architecture; it can also help you enter related fields such as graphic design, advertising, film, construction, real estate, and so on. If you are thinking of making such a change, your portfolio will need to show some evidence of skills and ideas related to your chosen field.

If you are trying to get a position in a related discipline like graphic design, your portfolio may include, beside architectural projects, graphic compositions, and experiments with book formats and layouts, and even different portfolio types.

Whichever area you choose to enter, it helps to show that you have studied it, or have some experience of working in it, demonstrated through the work shown in your portfolio.
