Hi,

I am moving to Vancouver in December from Ireland for a year , i am a qualified Interior designer looking for work within an Architectural firm or independent interior design company. Can anyone give advise on where to find this kind of work and also is there much work available in this area in Vancouver?

Thanks,

Jo

I think it’s tough this days for Interior Designers here, and probably getting worse by the day due to the economic slowdown everywhere. Some pre-sold projects are in danger of being shelved due to the worldwide credit crunch. So that affects everybody in the building industry including engineers, architects and interior designers. Numerous stories of architects getting laid off these days, in what’s traditionally been considered the hot spots for building activity. Vancouver, Calgary, etc. But you can try. Although the firms are now starting to go to each other asking for work.

Thanks you so much for the info. i don’t think it can be any worse than Ireland’s at the moment we are plummeting fast it’s very scary.
However i am heading off to explore Canada and to find work also so fingers crossed both work out for me smile
