Managing Without Direction.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) Drafter:
Follow through with your work, back check what you have done for errors thoroughly. You will be required to juggle many tasks and make decisions on what is a priority, sometimes you may have to disappoint someone when deadlines are involved and be ready to support your schedule and team. Understand the task assigned to you completely, it's ok to ask questions about things you don't understand, if everything you were drawing was simple or easy to comprehend you probably wouldn't be drawing it to begin with. Nobody’s perfect but simple mistakes are a quick way for managers not to select you for their teams leaving you with no projects, not good at annual review time. Show up at your work station on time every day no matter what, not just in the office door or break room, its ok to be a few minutes early. Say hi or good afternoon to principals and upper level associates you work with when passing by, try and drum up a short conversation, this shows you are comfortable around them.

January 2014
Working Environment.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) Drafter:
Pros: I like the people most at my job. Fun to work with, give "good" opportunities to learn new things. Very clean environment, professional. Strong communication between co-workers.
Cons: 8 hours a day sitting down. Not moving enough. I understand its a CAD Job, but sitting down constantly is not a healthy manner. Also, does not seem like there are many opportunities or a great pay down the road. Skeptical about employment.
