SCRIPT

(Senior Architect and the 1st Applicant)

SENIOR ARCHITECT: DIANNE MARIZ BAMBICO
APPLICANT: JUSTINE WILLIAM WEE

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Why should we hire you?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I am a self-motivated person that works extremely hard

to meet deadlines and ensure the final product is as good as it can possibly be.
There are very few cities in the US that support the type of large scale projects
that match my experience, New York being one of them. I think my high rise,
complex international project experience along with my LEED and BREEAM
expertise would be a good fit for this new role.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Why do you want to work here?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I think my high rise, complex international project

experience along with my LEED expertise would be a good fit for this new role.
Sustainable design is very important to the mission statement of this firm,
which matches my passion and recent work experience. Also the weather is
much better here.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What are your greatest strengths?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: My time management skills are excellent and I’m

organized, efficient, and take pride in my work. I am very familiar with the
processes and procedures of taking large projects from conceptual design to
construction administration.

I have a strong attention to detail and bring a rigorous design ethic to all the
projects I work on. I am also very skilled in the use of 2D and 3D computer
software for both drafting and rendering for presentation materials and detailed
construction documents.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What was your greatest accomplishments?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Completing my architecture license was my greatest

accomplishment. It was the culmination of years of education, work experience
and 30+ hours of exams.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Alright we’ll just call or text you.

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Okay sir/ma’am. Thank you.

(Senior Architect and the 2nd Applicant)
SENIOR ARCHITECT: DIANNE MARIZ BAMBICO
APPLICANT: LEIGH ANNE EDELEON

SENIOR ARCHITECT: So you were a graduate of Bachelor of Science in

Architecture in what school?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I came from Saint Louis College in the City of San
Fernando La union.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What skill has served you best in your architecture
career?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I would have to say my organizational skills. Of course,

I'm extremely proud of my creativity and my communication, but it is my
organization that has enabled me to track and assess the many details of each
project.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What is a weakness you've noticed some architects have

and that you don't have?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Unfortunately, some architects see certain projects as

too simple for them - a fast food restaurant, for example, that is slated to look
the same as most of its chain brethren. I believe that each and every client
deserves the best effort and that all projects can be fun.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What do you like about your present job?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I have the opportunity to work with the top architects,
engineers and consultants in the world and an extremely diverse group of
individuals. To learn new and exciting building techniques and methods I
might not have otherwise been able.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What do you dislike about your present job?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Due to large company size and structure decisions can
take a long time to filter through the chain. That’s why I am looking to move to
a smaller office where I can have more “hands on” experience and a chance to
move projects along in a more timely manner.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Alright just wait for a text message from us. Thank you.
(Senior Architect and the 3rd Applicant)
SENIOR ARCHITECT: DIANNE MARIZ BAMBICO
APPLICANT: ALLEXANDREA ALCANTARA

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Hi, so your name is Allexandrea Alcantara. And how old
are you? JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I just turned 25 years old.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What would your ideal job be?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: The important thing for me is a good team dynamic. The
project team and the people and projects I interact with on a daily basis are
very important for my ideal job. A challenging and at times stressful
environment is when I am the most productive.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Are you happy with your career to date?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Yes, I am very happy with my career to date. From

receiving my bachelors and masters degrees to becoming a LEED Accredited
Professional and getting my Architecture license while working on a diverse
portfolio of projects all over the world.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: How do you handle stress and pressure?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I think when I am under stress I actually do some of my

best work. I think it is important for me to make sure I have the correct
balance between good stress and bad stress. For the most part I find that good
stress is a great way stay motivated and productive.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: How much is your expected salary?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Although my previous salary is less than the salary this
job can offer. I believe there is good reason for the increase. While I am excited
at the prospect of this position I feel it would it would be a bigger risk with this
opportunity than with my position before.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: What’s the minimum salary you’d consider right now?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I’m pretty flexible and open. I’m sure you will make me a
fair offer. Also, it really depends on the value of the entire package the job fit,
benefits, 401K and bonuses, vacation. I’m not really sure at this point. I’m sure
your offer will be reasonable.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Okay, well just call you.

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Thank you

(Senior architect and the 4th Applicant)
SENIOR ARCHITECT: DIANNE MARIZ BAMBICO
APPLICANT: DANICA ESPINO

SENIOR ARCHITECT: You are a graduate of Bachelor of Science in

Architecture?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Yes, I graduated last 2015 and I worked at Tommy’s

company for 3 years now.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Which architect most influences your work or your work
habits?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Norma Merrick Sklarek. As the first black woman to get
a license in California and the first black woman to be elected to the American
Institute of Architects, she's taught me a lot about perseverance. She kept
giving 100 percent when firm after firm rejected her, and she eventually rose to
the top to design the American embassy in Tokyo as well as LAX Terminal 1.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Tell me about one of your previous projects. What did
you do to make it a success?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: The most important thing I did was to know my team.
That enabled me to delegate tasks based on each team member's strengths
while minimizing the influence of any weaknesses. Another essential thing was
that I was on the same page with the clients. They wanted an environmentally
friendly mall that would stand the test of time, and they were able and willing
to pay for it.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: We have a house blueprint set up in AutoCAD. Is there

anything you would do differently?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Overall, it's a good start. I'd change a few things, though.
The first thing I see is that there aren't materials assigned to assembly
components. Also, the door style names could be more specific.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: How do you ensure that a project starts off properly?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: I'm about the logistics at that early stage. How will the
sun, wind and water come into play? What are the legal property boundaries,
and are there hills or other features that could be an asset or a hindrance? I
also think about the permits I need and the timeline to get them. I'm also
mentally assigning different team members to various aspects of the project.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: How do you balance function with aesthetic appeal?

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Unless the clients demand otherwise, I aim for simplicity
above all else think the iPhone. It's what passes the test of time. Don't throw in
elaborate touches if they're not necessary, because they could be outdated in
just five or 10 years.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Alright. That’s all we’ll just call you.

JUNIOR ARCHITECT: Thank you ma’am.

(Senior Architect and the 5th Applicant)

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Goodmorning. So, How are you?

APPLICANT: I’m good. Thank you for asking.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Tell me a little about yourself.

APPLICANT: I am John Carlo Salonga, 20 years old, a graduate of Bachelor of

Science in Architecture at Saint Louis College year 2015. I worked at the
Gummy’s Company for 3 years now.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Why do you want this job?

APPLICANT: I am looking for a company where I not only enjoy what I am doing
but I can also grow into new positions. I am very good at what I do, I want a
company that allows me to learn more and to expand my capabilities in the
new areas. The fact that you sponsor a week training every year and most of
the people that I’ve met have been here more than 5 years shows me that we
share the same values.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Why do you want to work here?

APPLICANT: This company has a wonderful reputation as a great place to work.

You place high value on your employees and encourage them to learn, grow
and innovate inside the company. This means that employees happily work
here for many years, far beyond the average length of one employer. And
according to your clients, your services reflect your employee satisfaction which
is not surprising.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Where do you see yourself in five years?

APPLICANT: My long term goal is to grow professionally, eventually to have the

role of go-to-person for questions on topics like green architecture. I want to be
viewed as a top performer, an expert who is the key contributor inside the
organization.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Why do you want to leave your current job?

APPLICANT: I’ve enjoyed working with a great group of people at my current

employer, but this opportunity in this company fits very well with the direction
I want to take my career.

SENIOR ARCHITECT: Okay thank you. Wait for our call.

APPLICANT: Thank you ma’am.
