On April 20, 2011, AIAS co-hosted a mentor panel / resume review workshop with CED Advising. We invited 3 mentors and 1 mentee to talk about their involvement in the CED Mentorship and Alumni Network. We also invited 7 more local architects to give resume review after the panel discussion, including Dennis Dornan, Senior Associate at Field Paoli Architects; Wendy Sitler-Roddier, WMSR; An Ra Hong Buchanan, Buchanan Architects & Instructor at Diablo Valley College, Department of Architecture; Dan Tsui, BIM Manager at Transystems; Je'Nen Chastain, Junior Designer with d+D Architects & Immediate Past President of AIAS; Emily Bello , Designer at EHDD; Scott Dunlap, Principal at Gensler; and Li Kuo, Associate Architect at WRNS Studio. Each students brought multiple copies of their resume and received a 7 minute critique from different architects. Overall, it was a successful event and students were all set for applying for jobs with the finely edited resumes in hand.
