    I recently heard about Resubot and how it can help create ATS-friendly resumes. Might be useful for those looking to apply for jobs in CAD.

    I'm facing retirement inside 5 years and this would be a great fit for me since I'm a mech engineer and used CAD/CAM/FEA back in the late '80's early '90's. The biggest barrier for me is the price of a legal license for AutoCAD, it's a no-go for me but something I REALLY want.

      I know this comment is old but I'm 27 going back to trade school to finish my certification course for Technical drawing with Autocad. If you can get into registration and a semester of school under your belt, your professor should be able to give you a student code to redeem on auto desk to let you get a student trial version of Autocad. That's what I did back in 2018 when my dumbass wasn't taking college as seriously as I should have

      A note about the comment above: The education license for AutoCAD will have watermarks in the drawings you produce. I assume most professional companies don't accept those. It's a great option for learning and upgrading your skills/knowledge, though.

    I am an astronautical engineer. I had an interview and got a case study on catia. I partially finished it. Now I saw the light at myself and I am planning to work on some CAD software. I heard that fusion 360 is very user friendly and a little bit tried it. Now I am between working on CATIA and get a regular job on with it and working on fusion 360 and being a freelancer. I am confused.
