How can I get a job as a (architectural) drafter in Portland, Oregon with AS degree?

Posted by admin on December 11th, 2009 and filed under architectural drafting | 1 Comment »

I just graduated from college with the AS degree in Architectural drafting, and I don’t have any other special skills other than this one.
I need to get a job.

How can I find a job, please let me know how to find it other than craigslist.

Ask your college for help and suggestions of contacts and all the possible ways you could use your training. Either your department or your job find office.

Do you know anyone who is working in drafting? Let them know you are looking . Let everyone know you are looking.

Have you contacted architects?

Meantime, add some more skills if you can, so you can be more flexible
or more useful or both. Learn more computer skills that you could use in an office, even if you were not drafting. (Database, spreadsheet, bookkeeping are always in demand).

Possibly a general contractor or a home builder could use your skills. Check with a homebuilders association or use the phone book.
