Graduate Architect Survival Kit

University teaches you to design. Nobody teaches you how to actually walk into an office and work like a professional, until now.

What it's about: 
The mindset shift from student to team contributor, how to be genuinely useful in your first week, the software landscape you're expected to navigate, and how a real project actually moves from client brief to building permit. 

Straight, honest guidance on professional communication, meetings and record-keeping, and the workplace rights, reviews and salary conversations most graduates walk into blind. 
Written with real stories from real practice, including the parts that don't usually make it into career advice.

What's included:
•    The full guide
•    A first week checklist tool
•    A key contacts sheet template
•    Meeting notes and project diary templates
•    A performance review prep sheet template
•    A set of ready-to-use professional email templates for your first year

Who it's for: 
Graduates who want the thing they actually keep open on their first day, not just read once and forget.
