FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Keep the CV plain, one column and text-based so the hiring software can read it, and share your portfolio as a link or separate PDF. Many architects lose out because their CV is designed like a portfolio.

Architects have rarely had more opportunity in the Gulf. Saudi Arabia's giga-projects and new districts, Dubai and Abu Dhabi's continuous development, and Qatar's ongoing urban projects need concept designers, technical architects, BIM coordinators and design managers. But the application process usually starts with software, not a design director.

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) read architect CVs for software (Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, BIM), project scale (sqm, value, typology), authority approvals (Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, Abu Dhabi DMT), sustainability credentials (LEED, Estidama) and registration, such as SCE accreditation in Saudi Arabia. Portfolio-style CVs with graphics often parse as almost empty.

Our free scanner checks your architect CV in 60 seconds and shows you:

  • Whether ATS can actually read your CV layout
  • Software and credential keywords you're missing
  • How to present project scale and approvals
  • How to separate CV and portfolio effectively
