talking :scale

In this episode → I demystify my workflow and habits to uncover how I get so much done within a week. It's really important to start small but keep in touch with your overall vision and goals. 

Productivity looks different for everyone and behind my consistent output is a carefully curated set of systems and habits that all work like cogs in a machine to help me reach my target deadlines and prepare things on time.

In this episode → I talk about why you should be updating your portfolio this summer to increase your chances of demonstrating skills to employers and developing parts of your work that you may not have had the chance to whilst in university.

I also give a brief overview of :scale studio which is launching soon! We will help you to develop your portfolio alongside your CV and other skills through a live course alongside studio mentors and like-minded peers.

In this episode → All-nighters and working incredibly late is just a common attitude in our industry, to the point where some students feel as though it is a badge of honour. But it's really just part of this cycle of toxicity that has been around for a very long time. Is it because we are poor at time-management or because we undervalue ourselves so much?

In this episode → I share with you some tips for approaching job applications, mistakes I made and how I persevered through upskilling. Although the job market is incredibly tough at the moment, it doesn't mean that you can't use your time to keep on improving and developing your skills.

I also share some of the mistakes I made and how I corrected and learnt from them.

In this episode → I talk about my journey with hustle culture, productivity and the importance of breaks. As deadlines are around the corner, I also mention a few tips to help you get through this period whilst still caring for your wellbeing. 

We often consider breaks as a weakness because we are constantly striving to do the most at all times. But breaks can actually help you balance between a stressful experience and a healthier approach to the pressure of deadlines.

In this episode → I talk to you about utilising social media and trying different things in order to put yourself out there. The more you do this, the better you get at it and it can be a great tool for networking, showcasing your work and just engaging with all kinds of communities. In a world where we are feeling more disconnected than ever, try brushing up your skills.

In this episode → I discuss the importance of skill-building and the kinds of common skills you can easily learn and translate back to your architectural career. I honestly believe that learning something new - big or small - can lead to multiple opportunities down the line!

In this episode → I let you in on the real questions that are typically asked in a Part 1 interview - no more cringe and vague questions to prepare for. I also give you a little insight into some of the responses I gave as well as some general tips for acing an interview.

In this episode → I explain why LinkedIn is the best tool for current graduates and how they can use it to their advantage to search for jobs, make connections and possibly even create content. 

In this episode → I share with you the reason why it's okay to not spend all your time in the studio, working away for hours on end. Mixing up your environment, planning your time well and coming out with a really good result is achievable! 

With a glimmer of normality creeping in, most of us might prefer to stay at home to work on our projects and that's completely okay. Don't let yourself get sucked in to the pressures of staying in the studio 24/7
