Strong interior design graduates get rejected every day because their applications don’t sound studio-ready. Because they don’t speak the language of interior design recruiters.
Stop Getting Filtered Out Before the Interview Stage
Most interior design graduates don’t get rejected because their work is weak. They get rejected because their CV, cover letter, and portfolio don’t read like they understand how studios actually hire.
That means strong graduates are being filtered out in seconds.Not because of ability, but because of how their work is communicated.
And this £5 masterclass shows you how to fix that.
You’ll learn how to write your CV, cover letter, and portfolio in a way that makes recruiters understand your thinking, your decisions, and your readiness for studio work. Not by adding more content. But by improving how your work is interpreted.
What You’ll Learn in this Masterclass
This is not about redesigning your CV or rebuilding your portfolio. It’s about changing how studios understand your existing work
You’ll learn how to:
- identify why strong graduate applications are filtered out before interview stage
- understand what recruiters actually look for when scanning CVs, cover letters, and portfolios
- turn vague project descriptions into clear evidence of design thinking and decision-making
- write portfolio text that explains how problems were solved, not just what the final design looks like
- improve CV wording so it reflects studio awareness, not just skills and software lists
- communicate motivation in a way that feels specific to the studio, not generic
- avoid the most common language mistakes that make graduates sound “unready” for practice
- make your application easier to scan, understand, and shortlist in under 20 seconds
