CAD Designer

I advance in working with people as a team and learning something out of my comfort zone.

I was able to stay focused on to be on the same page with the architectural team to work on specifications, construction documentation, to work on the design aspects of the buildings that needs to be revised and edited for any other drawings, and mostly importantly I was able to get in touch with other drafters and architects to go over front elevations, roof framing, and windows in the name of architectural design.

Ask this one to understand if they grok PDM / PLM, if appropriate for your company.

A. True

A 3D design that had been drafted in 2D and needed to be brought into 2D. It was difficult because there was a lack of time, so I had to work overtime to get the job completed on time.

B. False

Asking this one is just a good conversation starter. First CAD experiences vary a lot. Entertain the conversation, share your own CAD software experiences and learn a lot about the kind of user they are, preferences, successes, failures, etc...

Well I figured it would be to my advantage to know the required programs an engineer is required to know and it has helped me especially in my Statics&physics class.

I am interested and passionate about taking painting and drawing classes. I took those classes at Fleisher Art Memorial, Main Line Art Center, and Wayne Art Center. Also, I usually go to the Philadelphia Art Museum, Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, Woodmere Art Museum, and the art galleries in Old City and Chestnut Hill.

I feel that I have a good feel on the industry. I know what it takes to complete a project to satisfaction of the requirements set.

It would look simple and neat. Everything would be where I would need it to be. I prioritize the organization by function first rather than aesthetics.

This question will tell you exactly what they are looking for. It also gives you the opportunity to sell yourself efficiently in that you won't give them information they don't need. Too much information may lead them to believe you are overqualified or don't have the right set of skills. They may also mention something you didn't realize they needed but can do.

No, I want to expand my horizon as a architectural technologist and learn new skills and assets to achieve my goals.

This is a tuff question to ask. It may expose your shortcomings out loud and that can be difficult to handle. However, it will tell you the issues you need to address in order to get the job. It creates an opportunity for you to demonstrate why you are the person for the job and removes fears they may have of hiring you. Don't get offended by anything they list. They may be correct in their comments.

Yes, sharing others is good idea , they can create a lot of new ideas.
