I have had 12 years experience working with AutoCAD (v9 to 2004) and over 1 Year on Microstation. I have experience in Facilities management, Architectural, Electrical and Mechanical drafting and raster to vector conversion. On my home computer I have AutoCAD 2004, Inventor and Mechanical desktop, Microstation V8, 3D Studio Max, MS Office XP and Lotus Notes R6. I also know DOS 5, win 3.1, 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000 and XP. Below is a link to my home page which has my resume and links to my sample drawings (there are on popups). The sample drawings can either be view on your web browser, with a plug-in from AutoDesk (dwf) or with the Adobe Acrobat reader (pdf). http://members.rogers.com/jsmr Thank you for your time and consideration. If your have any questions, problems or require references please e-mail me. Yours Sincerely, James Rose

Here's a couple of suggestions:

First, is your software legal? Because that's an awful lot of money in
software you've got there especially considering your work history.

Your resume shows there appears to be an underlining problem with you
getting, and maintaining employment. Over the last 10 years you haven't
work more than 6 months at any one company? I can think of lots of reasons
why that might be the case, but none of them reflect well on you. I'd
suggest self evaluating what the problem, or problems, are and how you can
fix them. I'd also suggest looking at your website from an employers
perspective.

You posted this to a group that probably considers it spam. A job posting
board might be a better place to go looking for work.

I'm always amazed when I hear about drafters not being able to find work.
Maybe my situation isn't typical, but I've NEVER had a problem finding work.
I've turned down a fair share of work and just last week I added another
employee to help with the work I do take. I've also known nobody locally
who can't find work. All this leads me to believe there's something
fundamentally different between my situation and others? Any "work - at -
home" types care to comment of their experiences? I've now got 1 full time
and 3 part time assistants working for me, and I run my company out of my
home. In the last 5 years I've never had a problem getting enough work, the
problem I've had is getting good people to do it.

So I'd be interested to hear from people that have struggled and maybe we
can figure out what's different? I'd really like to "bullit-proof" my
business model while times are good, so that when times are bad I can react
appropriately.

Thanks,

Michael

If it's spam, ignore it.

Have a little compassion for those less fortunate, whatever their reasons.

Start a new thread, if you want to start a new topic.

It's "bullet".

Do you think he might be a contractor (temp)?

Maybe he's tired of giving the agencies 30-40% of the billing rate.

boy, you should see my resume. In 30+ years, I have never held a
'permanent' position per se; always worked with job-shops and on my
own for the last 12 years.

and OBTW, what a varied education I have gotten with my 3 months here,
6 months there lifestyle.

More variety, more likehood of fitting a job requirement.
