CAD Portfolio?
Hey y'all,
I'm in a bit of a financial pinch and so I've been looking at pursuing drafting and CAD related work to suppliment or supplant entirely my income. My target is earning approximately $500+/wk so that I might be able to pay my rent, eat, and go back and take more classes toward my ME degree -- even though I really don't want an ME degree.
For those of you who have done CAD work, how did you market your skills? I approach it much like I would an art job and I'm not sure if that's an effective approach. Is creating a portfolio of previously completed CAD projects useful? I was imagining that, since I'll be applying for a job via e-mail, screenshots of different projects would be sufficient.
I just really am seeking some sort of guidance as to how I can best market my ability to do drafting work. I think I'm pretty good, but the people here have seen what I've done and have far more experience in professional environments, so perhaps you'd all be willing to think back to the work from me you've seen and offer advice.
Thanks.
