Tactics include assembling a patchwork of part-time engagements that utilize architectural skills, expanding a job search by pursuing remote work in distant locations, and starting to build a framework for your own practice.<\/p>\n<p>When faced with an involuntary career break, it\u2019s helpful to remember that finding your next long-term position is primarily a matter of time. Thus, the most important thing you can do is buy yourself time to ride out a prolonged job search. This means doing anything you can to support yourself that also maintains, or allows you the time to maintain, hard-earned architectural skills. Luckily, architectural skills can be applicable to <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/details\/young-architects-guide-alternatives-to-architectural-practice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a wide range<\/a> of short-term, digitally remote freelance work.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Architectural rendering by Fiverr Pro xrender\" width=\"2038\" height=\"999\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Architectural rendering by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/xrender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">xrender<\/a> listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/pro?source=top_nav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fiverr Pro<\/a> marketplace<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Part-Time Gigs<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most obvious applications is <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/tools\/rendering-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visualization<\/a>. There\u2019s many ways to go solo in this area, from <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/tools\/starting-an-architecture-firm-with-fiverr-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listing your services on a freelance marketplace<\/a> to soliciting your network of employed architects to see if their firm needs ad hoc renderings with a quick turnaround. If you\u2019re inclined to seek a more permanent arrangement, you can quickly expand the number of full-time positions you\u2019re searching for by including visual media beyond architecture, such as visual effects producers for film, television, or video games.<\/p>\n<p>Another profession with a perennial need for one-off architectural services is <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/stories\/what-real-estate-developers-do-and-why-i-became-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">real estate<\/a>. Drafting simple floor plans for a leasing agency, for example, may not be glamorous, but can be a short-term way to get paid for drawing buildings. This can also be a good way to become acquainted with private developers, who may be looking to hire an in-house architect to be their advocate on large projects, or could even become clients for your own practice.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MVRDV-paradise-city-imprint-gold-entertainment-complex-incheon-korea-designboom-1800.jpg\" alt=\"the imprint mvrdv\" width=\"1800\" height=\"650\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/the-imprint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Imprint<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/mvrdv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MVRDV<\/a>, fa\u00e7ade by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/brands\/keim\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KEIM<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth looking toward professions architects frequently hire as subconsultants. <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/brands\/that-make\/facade-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fa\u00e7ade design<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/industry\/finch-automatic-plan-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parametric modelling<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/collections\/super-graphics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">graphic design<\/a>, for example, are just some of the many fields packed with single-focus firms specializing in skills architects often use every day. Looking for part-time work in one of these disciplines can be a way to hone particular skills for a short period, or could even lead an architectural career in a new and interesting direction.<\/p>\n<p>A slew of relevant stop-gap working opportunities for unemployed architects, particularly recent graduates, can also be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/tools\/academia-and-the-profession\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">higher education<\/a> and cultural institutions. Academic research, curatorial fellowships, and similar positions that don\u2019t require full-time teaching are less susceptible to the sort of volatility Covid-19 has wrought on the economy. Such positions can offer worthwhile, paid experience that can be gained parallel to a full-time job search.<\/p>\n<h2>Remote Working<\/h2>\n<p>Not all unemployed architects, of course, will be able to take advantage of adjacent professions, but widespread remote working, at least in some form, is here to stay. So a simple way to expand the pool of jobs available to out-of-work architects is to look for them in firms based outside one\u2019s immediate city or region.<\/p>\n<p>This should be noted with the caveat that it\u2019s currently unclear how willing a wide swath of architecture firms may be to hire remote staff working from far-flung locations. Many factors influence a business\u2019 attitude towards this, from local professional regulations to payroll and tax filing issues. However, a number of tech-savvy firms have long embraced remote working, and it\u2019s highly likely that the number of architecture firms utilizing a full-time remote workforce will continue to increase in the coming years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_62857\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62857\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-62857 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"architect using ipad\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/architect-5342907_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-62857\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/ElenaBuzmakova_Borisova-12151052\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=5342907\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elena Borisova<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=5342907\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pixabay<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Starting Your Own Firm<\/h2>\n<p>A final path unemployed architects might find worth pursuing is to start their own firm. This is especially true for early to mid-career designers, who probably have a modest network and enough experience to facilitate a successful project but aren\u2019t as familiar with the process designers go through to get clients.<\/p>\n<p>Taking this approach obviously doesn\u2019t pay until you get a client, so it\u2019s probably not a priority for the recently unemployed, but even unsuccessfully pursuing your own projects in between part-time work and searching a for a full-time job can be a truly valuable experience. Forcing yourself to learn first-hand what it takes to\u00a0win an architectural commission might open all sorts of doors if you just try, and at the very least will make you more valuable to future employers.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless what strategy, or combination of strategies, someone takes to get through a bout of unemployment, it\u2019s necessary to look for new opportunities in ways you might not have considered before. By opening yourself to the idea of following a completely different career direction than the one you\u2019re used to, you may unintentionally find a new way to earn a living, making your skills, experience, and general disposition more resilient in the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><p><em>Architects: Want to have your project featured?
