Best of luck to everybody on your jobs and careers. It's a bit daunting at the moment for me trying to go into a field in a recession so I was curious how people ended up where they did. It doesn't seem like there is a set path like the mail-room to assistant to manager to VP path which is interesting to learn. I wonder how I'm going to get to where I want to be, aside from the hard work that is. Cheers!

Dave - no worries about the long and short of it not being so short, you never know what information is important and what isn't. I do have a question though. What kind of activities are you doing or organizations your going to to find a job with an arch viz firm? Meaning what are you doing to find a job? ihabkal - nice story, sounds like you made it happen, very encouraging I have a question for you. What was the main thing that landed you your first job? What are the things you've done to maintain a steady work flow throughout the years? Thanks for replying!

I'm trying to start a career in the architectural visualization field and I'm curious as to how people arrived at the jobs they currently hold. Was your focus on arch viz and were you lead there? Did you start with a small company doing something completely unrelated to arch viz and work to where you are? What got your to where you are, was it a portfolio, connections with friends, a phone call? There are many other questions but I'm blanking so if you feel like imparting some wisdom please do. I welcome any help or advice. Thanks!
