Words are powerful. More powerful than you think. With the words we choose to use, we have the power to stand out amongst the rest. In a competitive job market, how can we make small changes on a CV to make more of an impact? It’s all the small things you do that add up to a big impact. 

Let's discuss how the language we use on our CV - the structure, the power words: verbs & adjectives, and how to quantify your achievements using language that potential employers need and want to hear. 

Let's also discuss the language you use for your own values and how to analyse and use the language from job descriptions and websites to show how dedicated you are to making your application stand out.

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers. I’m here to connect you with insights, tools, and opportunities that lead to meaningful growth, whether you’re just starting out or ready to take that next big step.

What is Architecture Social?

It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.

Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.

Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.

No fluff, just the reality of practice.
