Autocad technician freelancer

    Hi all.
    I need some advice. I'm a construction graduate with autocad skills. Do you think it's worth me setting up a facebook page to advertise my skills. I don't have industry experience. That's the only thing that's putting me off: my lack of experience. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Kelley :)

    I'd imagine without experience you're going to struggle and without any contacts you'll really struggle.

    I can't see how setting up a Facebook page to showcase your skills and approach to your craft could harm you in any way. You should be prepared to let your work speak for you. And you should be super careful not to include anything that a potential employer would be uncomfortable asking you about in an interview. If you do set up your page, definitely link to it in your CV.
