Insights on How to Get a Job for New (and Old!) Planners

EMERGING PLANNERS SURVEY (August 2014)_Page_01 

Our colleagues over at APA Arizona put together this tremendously helpful brochure, for which they surveyed more than 800 planners across the country. Whether you’re looking for a job or just want some interviewing/employment advice, it’s tremendously helpful. Click on the image above to download the report.

Your Help Is Needed!  Short Survey to Assist New Graduates in Job Searching

Please take this brief community planning survey to assist new graduates; it will take four minutes or less of your time. The survey is designed for all planning professionals representing the broad range of specializations, workplace environments, and geographic locations. The findings will be shared with planning students and mentorship programs. Example questions include:
  • What qualifications are most important for entry-level planners?
  • What technical skills are preferred or necessary to succeed at your workplace?
  • What interview methods are used by your company or organization?
