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..

I might be able to get you in to NASA.

 

Oh you are in VB, nvm.

 

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
