Beat the job queues
There are more jobs in 2D CAD
Can you offer an employer CADsmart certification instead of City and Guilds?
You can, if you offer an employer something different. How about free upate training from us when you get a job offer?
There is usually a gap of time between training courses and an offer of employment. So we will provide a free place on one of our courses to update your skills, or an expenses only day on site. So your employer won't have to pay for additional CAD training. - That's different.
Despite the promotion and hype from the CAD software companies, there are lots of companies who use 2D CAD. Check out your local or regional papers. As the economy picks up there are going to be many more vacancies for well paid 2D CAD jobs. Electrical contractors, Air conditioning installers to name just two.
To have a successful job application you have to sell yourself and your skills. So let's take a famous example from the sales books of yesteryear.
A businessman wanted to take out a Life Assurance policy.
He approached a large number of Life Assurance companies and had a collection of quotations from which he was going to choose the best.
One day a life assurance consultant walked into the business man's office and an hour later had him signed up to a life policy with his company.
How did he do it?
He offered the man something which all of the other consultants could not offer at that time. The man could have have had an accident on the way home and become uninsurable. So the consultant pre- arranged an appointment for a medical examination that afternoon.
Now we are not suggesting that for a successful job application, that you arrange a medical for the person who interviews you!
However you could adopt this approach and use CADsmart certification instead of City and Guilds to improve your chances of a successful job application. Just as the life consultant offered his prospect something unique. Which no other consultant could offer.
CADsmart certification can be a better alternative to City and Guilds when the higher levels of City and Guilds qualification are not applicable to the job. Indeed there are many well paid Autocad related jobs that fall into this category. So you really can improve your chances to have a successful job application.
Also there aren't that many people who have CADsmart certification at present. Though this number is growing as many more employers realise the value of CADsmart certification.
CADsmart certification really does represent the skills that employers are looking for. It could improve your chances of a successful job application. You can use the testimonials from employers on the CADsmart web site www.cadsmart.net in your CV.
Sometimes employers don't appreciate that wasted mouse clicks add up to a huge bill which they have to pay for every business day.
What do they really want when the majority of CAD work is still done in 2D?
Someone who has taken all of the levels and may spend 3 times longer than normal quoting for a project in 3D?
Or someone who can increase his productivity, allow him to do more with his CAD resources and be leaner when times are bad.
It even makes sense for those who already have City and Guilds to use our CADsmart certification course to refresh their skills.
Once you have taken our 5 day course and achieved your CADsmart certification, if there is a gap of time before a confirmed job offer, you would be welcome to take a free place, excluding your expenses, on one of our existing 5 day Autocad trainingcourseswith CADsmart certifiction . So you could top up your skills which wouldbenefit your new employer and improve your chances of getting a job. This could be agood point to make to anemployer on yourCV.
