🔎第一階段: 準備作品集、履歷
履歷必須要讓雇主在瞬間認識你，至少要讓他在第一輪海選的時候留下你，再進一步考慮你。
🔺Part 1. 景觀設計師撰寫履歷的6個重點:
1️⃣ 看完一定要被記得的優點是?
平均一份cv只被閱讀10幾秒，除了排版格式務必清楚好閱讀，簡潔扼要、有邏輯的條列式、重點加粗放前面等技巧別忘記，最重要的是如何讓幾秒掃過你履歷的人，記得你的優點和考慮雇用你的可能性。
2️⃣ 展現個人美感特色
想成為設計師的第一步，有個人特色的設計是必須的。履歷盡可能與Portfolio呼應，讓讀者有記憶點。
3️⃣ 展現特殊才華或其他經歷
景觀設計是需要團隊合作的，因此能否在團體中與人溝通融洽、同時也能獨立作業? 或是領導一個團隊，也都是評審的重點。亮眼的學經歷的背後，即使跟景觀設計完全沒關係，如果能體現以上這些軟技能或其他個人特色，便能加分許多。
4️⃣ 危機也是轉機
通常學經歷中如果有gap year，可以想想怎麼寫可以讓他成為你的優勢，或著是轉換 跑道的朋友，可以強調你''喜觀學習各種事物，而接觸景觀後找到自己的志趣所在''等。
5️⃣ 學校資源請多利用
學校都會有career service部門提供cv模板或舉辦講座/workshop，帶著你寫cv，或是有修稿服務也不要錯過。另外，請教有經驗的前輩們，在國外找工作更可以少去許多冤枉路。
6️⃣ 盡早準備、時時更新
正規的CV需要有2名references(推薦人)，建議盡早準備好CV和Portfolio聯繫比較熟的老師當推薦人。另外別忘了定期更新履歷。

🔎STAGE 1: Preparation of Portfolio, CV
Your CV must capture your employer’s attention to learn about you and what you can offer to them immediately and effectively. This would allow your potential employer to identify and consider your application out of the hundreds of other entries they have received.
🔺Part 1 - 6 key points a landscape architect should consider in their CV
1️⃣ Creating a memorable CV.
An employer spends an average of 10 seconds browsing through each CV. Make your CV easy to read, concise and logically structured with a clear layout.
Remember to emphasize and highlight specific skills and key values that show that you are not only suitable for the job but would also be a good fit to the company.
Keep in mind that your ultimate goal is to capture your employer’s attention, remember your strengths and convince them to hire you.
2️⃣ A Designer’s Aesthetics.
The first steps of becoming a designer is to develop a sense of style and character in your works. It is crucial that your CV and Portfolio both echo the same key theme and message. This would help establish an identity that would make your application much more memorable.
3️⃣ What can you offer other than academic experience?
Landscape architecture is a multidisciplinary profession that revolves heavily around teamwork. Mentioning soft skills and personal qualities such as being an adaptable team-player who can also work independently or even lead a team would be strengths that set you apart from other applicants.
4️⃣ With change brings new opportunities.
For students who have a gap year in their academic studies, think about how you can include this additional experience to your advantage.
For career switchers, you can consider sharing how your previous experiences have sculpted your design journey, your joy and curiosity of learning different subjects and how you finally found interest within the realm of landscape architecture.
5️⃣ Making the Most of Your University’s Resources.
Every university would have a career service department which provides CV templates or hold lectures/workshops that give guidance in writing your CV, checking and reviewing it.
Reaching out to experienced graduates and peers for their advice regarding overseas job applications would also help reduce the amount of time and effort spent on unnecessary work and improve success rates.
6️⃣ Prepare early and update frequently.
A CV would normally require you to include 2 letter of recommendations (Referees). It is recommended that you plan ahead and prepare your CV and Portfolio as early as possible for review.
At the same time, approach professors/advisors who know you well, ask for their permission and request them to be your referee – It is time-consuming to write and they might have multiple request as well, give buffer time! Meanwhile, remember to update your CV regularly.
