We do believe that we can improve your chances of getting a well paid CAD job. Particularly as you might be able to find unadvertised temporary employment with local companies, if you have good CAD skills you might find short term employment that could turn into full time.
Check out Autocad vacancies and salaries by searching for "Autocad" on job sites. You will find vacancies that require only good CAD skills. Some examples: Electrical contractors, Heating & Ventillation or Air Conditioning companies, Warehouse racking installers. Can you now find these same types of companies who are local to you?
As the recession lifts these companies will be advertising vacancies. Could you be first in the queue for a full time job with them if you are already on a short term employment contract with them? Don't be tempted to free lance. You could be responsible for any errors and have to chase moneys owing to you. You might not even get paid if the company goes bust.
