33. Technical illustrators

34. Technical illustrators

35. Tool and die design drafting is a specialization of mechanical drafting. Tool

and die design drafters prepare CADD models and detailed drawing plans

for the manufacture of tools, usually following designs and specifications

indicated by tool designers.

36. Your résumé must be a quality and professional representation of you. When

an employer has many résumés, the best ones stand out.

37. Your portfolio should contain examples of school and industry drawings that

you have completed. Neatly organize the drawings and select examples that

help you target the specific industry discipline that you are seeking.

38. First impressions are critical. You must look your best and present yourself

well. Always be on time or early. Relax as much as you can. Answer

questions clearly and to the point but with enough detail to demonstrate

that you know what you are talking about. It is often unwise to talk too

much. Show off your portfolio. Be prepared to take a CADD test or

demonstrate your skills.

39. The Internet is a valuable place to seek employment. Hundreds of Web

sites are available to help you prepare for and find a job. Many Web sites

allow you to apply for jobs and post your résumé for possible employers.

Some employers screen applicants over the Internet. Some Web sites

provide a safe place to post your résumé for only employers to review. You

should always confirm that the terms of agreement provide you with a safe

place to search for employment.
