Default Local CAD Drafting Companies?

I need a job. Plain and simple, and I'm having a hard time getting my foot in the door. All I have is school experience in this. I just got my Associates in Computer Drafting recently. Not quite sure how many Drafting companies there are out here. I've already applied at Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics, but I was told by a friend that I'd be better off knowing someone in there to help me out. I know Newport News has a lot of openings but if it's possible, I'd prefer to not drive out that far from Va Beach. I'd appreciate the help..

depends on the type of cad...we talking circuits or tools/parts? If its parts you can take cad drawings up to abacus racing in vb and have them cut you a custom part from a solid peice of extruded alum. if its circuits, only places I know are inet-based and require minimum unit # orders.

btw fuck ee version of autocad, kicad forever
