Interview Questions and Answers
Tell me about yourself?
For the past four years I have been pursuing a Masters Degree in Architecture from the Academy of Art University. I chose to study in order to obtain licensure
and prepare myself as a project designer. The educational process has shifted my interests to how architecture will function with advancements in technology. Architecture
has always been my passion and I believe it has the innovative capacity to create better
environments and communities.
What do you know about our firm?
The firm was established in 1935 by Lawrence Perkins and Philip Will.
Since then the company has grown to a global status where it is recognized for its innovative principles in a wide variety of fields. Some of the notable accomplishments that
interested me were the companys involvement in the development of Dockside Green,
a LEED Platinum certified mixed use harbor community that utilizes high performance
buildings to set a bar for the future. The firm also promotes sustainability in a variety of
ways, such as through the creation of the 2030 Estimating and Evaluation tool which
provides architects the ability to set energy goals in context of the 2030 challenge. Finally a particular project that really highlights the foundation of Perkins + Will is that of
the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where the architects and the design process focused on the target demographic to create an environment of healing and inclusivity.

In contemporary times I believe that architecture has to form an interrelation to ideals of technology and how those advances influence the sustainability of buildings.
Why did you leave your last job?
I had to leave in order to develop as an architect and as a person. The
company underwent radical changes after being acquired by an engineering firm which
caused the level of challenge to plateau.
What do you feel this position should pay? / How much money do you expect to
make?
It depends on what you believe my level of experience merits. Although salary is
important, my focus is on the valuable opportunity to work with Perkins+Will.
What are your expectations for this job?
I want to be able to work on multi-faceted projects that require me to tailor
a solution specific to the clients needs. I hope to contribute to society by utilizing my
design skills to improve the quality of life.
What is your biggest weakness?
Oftentimes Im extremely critical of myself and the work I produce. Although this may lead to a lack of efficiency, the attention to detail vastly improves the
quality of the design process.
How would you describe your interpersonal skills?/ Ability to work on team?
Im open to collaborating with others throughout a project. This team effort
requires me to apply critical decision making skills while adapting and reacting to the
concerns of my colleagues and clients.
