Drafter roles, freelance platforms, and what a junior CAD portfolio needs.
The very first lesson of this course made a claim: that "knows AutoCAD" is a genuine, skills-tested career door — employers care whether you can draw, not where you learned. Four modules later, it is time to collect on that claim. This final lesson is about turning what you can now do into work — and about seeing clearly what you can now do.
Take stock, honestly
Count it up. You can draw at exact sizes and prove it with DIST. You organise drawings on layers that speak the thick-thin-dashed grammar. You place honest, associative dimensions a builder could set out walls from. You built a complete apartment plan from a brief — walls, openings, fixtures, furniture, title block. You carve block libraries, frame sheets in paper space, and plot true-to-scale PDFs. You know how to enter someone else's file without breaking it.
Read a junior drafter job listing and compare. That list IS the listing. Not "familiar with AutoCAD" — the actual daily work of the actual job.
The proof: a portfolio, not a promise
