I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Parikh Stevens Architects (Denver, CO) in Oct 2018
Interview
Owner will take you down to Black Black Coffee which is 2 minute walk from the office. He never looked at my portfolio and that told me he did not care about my design ability. I told him the experience I was looking for and he told me he could do that - this was a lie that he continued until I left
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of experience do you have with Code, ADA, and Life Safety?
All candidates have a portfolio of their previous work. The design and graphic skills of a candidate (such as they are) are very evident from their portfolio and so while we do discuss design with candidates, we also ask about the technical side of architecture. We are looking for well rounded professionals who have an equal interest in the technical aspects of the profession as they do in design.
