Hello everyone, I have a question to address to those who have more experience than me in the industry, I leave completely from scratch. .
I have worked for years as a storehouse, a job that has never appeared to me, and now, since I'm still young, I've been unemployed and I'm studying as a designer cad through an institute called slash school. I really like the industry, and during the lessons I also realized that I would like to throw myself into the world of interior design, only that I have a doubt; If I leave aside the fact that I will certainly do specialization courses, my question is: will I still be able, just finished this course, to work in the autocad world? Or do you need a specialization?

Hello Damian. cad is a tool that replaces the pencil, what matters is to know what must contain the design that you will go to realize with the cad. if you are completely fasting of technical design, a cad course is definitely insufficient to be able even only to start.
 
Can you advise me how I could move? I'm halfway through, and now that I've placed this doubt I feel a little confused
 
My fear, since in June I will finish the course and in September my period of unemployment ends, is to have to go back to work as a storekeeper and make a life that I do not like. not that I have no patience to achieve what I want, it is right to put my soul in peace
 
when you write that you like the industry if you are referring to autocad you are wrong approaching. autocad designer is not a profession and does not belong to any industry.
learn autocad, or any other software of any kind, you just need to know what the program can do and how to do it. to learn how to use it in a business sector you need to know that business sector.
If you want to do interior design you will need to study the use of colors, shapes, spaces, composition, materials, evolution of fashion, and much more.
and this applies to any business area.

very clear thank you very much!
 
If you have chosen the interior design industry, you should know what software is most used and also focus on that as well as autocad that is always convenient for me, then you will also have to do an interior design course.
But now, I'd go through the autocad course with architects or furniture, tastare a little bit of the ground and propose yourself, because you'll have to learn "the craft" and to do it the best school is the job. Prepare to earn little for a long time trying to learn as much as possible, then you'll be able to understand when it's the best time to leave "the ovile" always that needs. Good luck, since now companies are looking for apprentices with 10 years of experience.... ;)

p.s. you must also learn how to make rendering starting from a design of autocad, recreating the room and putting in your decor ideas.

p.s.2 geometries and architects will send you dwg of the apartment, so as they have already told you the rules of technical design you have to know otherwise how you read it.

I repeat myself but only to clarify the concept, the courses serve but then you have to find a firm that takes you to the bone in the field, unthinkable to learn a job only with the courses.

his was the clearest answer, with all respect addressed to others. it understood the meaning of my question since my doubt was precisely if it was possible already to approach the world of work, with the knowledge of the use of the software. Of course I will continue my training, but in the meantime I would still like to make my bones on the field as you say. thank you again for the time dedicated to answering me!

One last question if I can, with little money what do you mean? just to get me an idea

this is very difficult to define it because it varies according to the type of collective contract and then to the type of framework you would have.
for example according to ccnl design, processing and finishing of interior, exterior, furniture and restoration the basic pay of the seventh level is 1340€ (please of course), so you can assume that coming completely unaware of the profession with the sole competence of a little autocad (I write "a little" because an account is to do exercises at school while working it is very different) you will have the minimum level* and you can assume with large margins about 1000€.
* Considering your inexperience and age you may also be taken with type apprenticeship or training forms that have usually lower wages.

of course I am data to take only in general online because I have no skills on it and I am limited to reasoning on the ccnl found on the net; as said everything depends on how the job is framed and the type of recruitment.

Thank you so much! You have to roll your sleeves and never give up! Thank you very much for the time dedicated to answering me.

However, if you want a last advice, look for a slightly larger and structured company, since you will have to take it as a second school, at least you are more likely to teach you "good", not so much work in itself but the organization and not because a small company is not able but simply because they are normally under staff and not having time, they tend to sketch out some procedures.
On the other side of the coin, however, in a small company it is all much more concentrated, you will probably cover (with time) more tasks, so learning is in "shock wave" style.
For example, my very first job was a mechanical designer for a small company, being the only one in the office after a short time I started to do also programs for cnc cutters with the cam. from the assemblies, of course, I created the distinct base and then "given that you are" you also do the orders, then: "know what you ordered, put it in place in stock" . so I was a designer, and it served me a lot but the real working procedures I learned when years later I went to work in a multinational.
 
in fact my initial goal would be to not work for a company where I am the only designer on which to rely, not for fear, but precisely because being my first experience in the field I would start chewing a mouth at a time

This depends on how you are, you should, if possible, initially find your comfort zone to learn in tranquility. It won't be easy. However, it reminds me of another thing, colleagues = possible problems, not likely but possible.

and very nice to have dreams and aspirations, to make them real you have to invest your time and your energies and from what you write is exactly what you are doing, congratulations.
a further step is to make you in some way attractive for the working environment to which you are ambiguous and in some way you are working but as a new entrepreneur , although in another area, I wonder why I should hire you and give you this opportunity ? at the moment I do not find an answer , you also ask this question and try to find the basics to show to those who will see in you a storeroom that you will be a good investment for him (from you but

I'm almost 27 years old, it's not too late to change my life, but I can't take it any longer. I love the world of design, in the course of the lessons then I realized that what I want to follow is the world of interior design (other than in a very short time I enroll in a course of interior design, in addition to that of autocad that I am about to end, because I do not want to waste any more time), and therefore I follow what I want without having to adapt situations that I do not want to accept. I am investing 3/4 of my unemployment in this, roasting by delivering pizzas to allow me some delight and some thoughts to my partner; I am very determined, I know that the beginning is difficult and who knows how many shirts I still have to sweat, but I am ready to everything because it is what I want. Thank you so much, I asked this question before I started

Look, it wasn't a critique but a suggestion, all you say for how praiseworthy it will hardly convince an entrepreneur to hire you, and since you asked yourself the question and continued, what answer did you give yourself?

Good! !
However, it's not your problem at the moment, but in the future be careful about exploiters, the world of work is full of pseudo-entrepreneurs who literally exploit people. obviously you have to do a good job otherwise it is a problem "pretende"

at the moment this is what I have understood of my path, I still have to learn and above all to make my bones in this field since it would be my first experience, so at the moment I still do not know how to answer them regarding "what reasons I could give to a giver to hire me" just because I still have so much to learn. I hope that my knowledge, my grit and my desire to do, will do their part, then the rest is shown on the field not in words. absolutely, however, do not interpret my answer in bad weather, indeed, anything else, I appreciate his words
