The Iowa's Living Roadways Visioning
Program provides an opportunity for Iowa communities of less than 10,000
people to access professional landscape planning and design assistance.
Through a series of planning meetings a local, volunteer committee works with
a Trees Forever facilitator, a professional landscape architect, and a design
team from ISU Extension Landscape Architecture to identify potential
landscaping projects and to create several images of what finished projects
in their community might look like. Volunteer Visioning committees across the
state have been successful in developing these projects from this conceptual
stage to detailed plans and finally into implemented landscape plantings. the
program offers a unique summer internship opportunity to enthusiastic, motivated
students studying landscape architecture or a related discipline.

Career Days include activities
of value and interest to all College of Design students. With advanced
preparation and research students can maximize the benefits of Career
Days.
- Review the schedule of events to determine specific programming
of interest to you.
- Find out what firms representing your major will be attending
and visit their websites.
- Attending firm profiles is highly recommended to get an overview
of the firms work. Representatives will present highlights
of the firm, some of their current projects and their emphasis.
- When approaching firm displays, introduce yourself and tell
the firm representative your major. Be prepared to ask questions
such as: What is your firms specialty? What type of projects
does your firm do? Describe a typical work day? What qualifications
does your firm seek when hiring employees? What types of things
should I be doing now to prepare myself for a career? What types
of work would someone with my major do in your firm?
First and second year students:
- The main thing is to attend this event and get a feel for what
it involves.
- You may want to discuss careers in general, career paths or
skills, talents and qualifications that firms expect from their
employees.
- You may want to learn about diverse firms and about their projects.
- You may be interested in building a relationship with specific
firms for future internships or jobs.
Students seeking internships or full-time jobs:
- Attending firm presentations is an excellent way to learn about
a firm. Following the presentation, you may want to visit the
firms booth to ask questions.
- Design students should be well prepared to interact with firm
representatives in a professional manner at Career Day. Dress
appropriately for the event, especially if in job search mode.
- Provide introductions, inquire first about the firm and then
about availability of employment opportunities that will utilize
your skills and talents.
- Take resumes with you and ask if the representative will forward
your resume and design samples to the person who supervises hiring
in your area of interest.
- Do your homework; know what firms will attend and in what cities
their offices are located. Some firms may be representing one
office; however, other firms have offices in various cities across
the USA and may be willing to circulate your resume to appropriate
staff in those offices.
- Be sure to collect business cards for further correspondence.
- Some firms are conducting interviews on Friday. These firms
will have schedules at their booths for you to sign up for interviews.
Inquire about interviews and be sure to give the firm a resume
that includes samples of your work.
- Perhaps you could inquire about visiting the firm during Spring
Break or at another time to show your portfolio and discuss employment
opportunities with their firm.
- Career Day is also a great time to begin networking and demonstrate
your interest in a firm by asking professionals the questions
you really want answered.
Following Career Days:
Sending firm representatives that you meet at Career Day a note
thanking them for taking their time to attend the event will certainly
make a favorable second impression. |
| |
|
| |
There are many ways for students
to get involved in assisting with Career Day. Your help is greatly
needed and appreciated. If you would like to volunteer to assist in
making this event a huge success, contact mhutches@iastate.edu. |
| |
|
| |
- Check the firm schedule to see which firms are interviewing
and what majors they are seeking.
- Visit the firms booth, introduce yourself and inquire
about signing up for interviews. For great interviewing tips visit
the Career Services website, under Job Search Tools, Interviewing.
