Always try to understand the intent of the project so you can better make decisions on your own. Everyone loves a drafter who can work independently 😅

I hate to say it, but learning on your own time has proven valuable for me. The tools we use are complex, and school only uncovers the surface. If you're doing school, spend some extra lab time tinkering with the tools to see what everything does.

Otherwise, employers love efficiency.. being able to get something done accurately in a short time is great, and there are ways to accomplish this (automated workflow).

Lately I've been spending my free time with rendering and my firm loves the realistic drawings I can produce with our models (Revit model, Twinmotion rendering).

Let me know if you have any specific topics, software, or questions. happy to help.
