-: I'm Bruce Prichard.
I am the managing principal
of HBA Architecture & Interior Design,
which is a regional firm in Virginia.
We first look at the design portfolio,
to be honest with you.
We're looking for someone that has a talent, has an eye,
knows what designs look like.
And then we kinda look at what else they've done,
what other kind of jobs they've done.
Have the interned with someone?
Have they interned with us?
Quite frankly, we prefer to hire people
that have interned with us at least for a summer.
We'll typically bring in two or three people in a summer,
and when they graduate a year or two later,
we'll look to hire them.
