Architect CVs should be tailored as much as possible to suit the needs and qualities of the organization being applied to as well as the position being applied for. As far as possible avoid the use of the same CV for different applications. Architects get jobs in various organizations e.g. landscaping firms, government and privately owned architectural firms and as consultants.
When applying to an organization you should undertake research on the organization and the position for which you are applying e.g. junior architect at a government architect office. You may then start compiling your CV with the information you discover at the forefront of your mind. This will make it easier for you to select the skills and traits you have that suit the needs of the organization and demonstrate them in your CV so as to increase your chances of being noticed by employers.
