To all those who are wondering and to those who have been praying and hoping for us as much as we have ourselves.......WE HAVE A JOB!!!
I am working for a construction group called "RYAN COMPANIES" (http://www.ryancompanies.com/ ) who have their own in-house drafting department. Miracle of miracles is, they use REVIT the program that I had hoped to be drafting with and gain more experience on.
At this point in time they have me on a 3 month contract which we both hope turns to a more permanent situation. As a result of the contract, the pay is on the very low side but right now is better than nothing at all.
Most important of all, is that I am gaining much needed experience. This time round it is in the commercial field instead of residential which should result in being more valuable experience in the future.
While the office humour is what most folks would call rather "broad" or "coarse" the guys I am working with are really good about sharing info and teaching me pieces of the program that I have not yet used or teaching me how to use something fully which I had partially used. I really am grateful for the time and experience here even if it is only 3 months and no more b/c I will have learned much more about commercial building design.
While here, I also hope to learn the basics of civil design and how to put the building and landscape formats together to use them more effectively. This may be an opportunity and a give me "a leg up" to my next position.
