This meetup is intended to offer a platform for CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED architects, interior designers and construction professionals ONLY. If you are not unemployed, please do not join. This website is intended for companies to see.

Our industry has been hit hard, and it might take years to get it back to where it was. Please join the meetup if you feel isolated and would like to network with others in the same situation. The goal for this site is to make it visible to architecture, design and construction firms and to allow them to contact the members of the meetup directly instead of placing an ad to which they will receive hundreds of resumes. You need to agree that you don't have a problem with your profile being public, and you have to fill out all the questions sufficiently so potential employers can get a first idea of who you are and what you are able to do. Tip: Choose a professional looking picture/head shot. Good luck!
