Hello! if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the SolidSmack RSS feed or to the free email updates. Thanks for visiting!
Last week I gave you some tips on how to get hired on the spot. I got some good feedback from it and apparently some people are taking the advice. Like Caleb Stoll who just launched SolidWorks Unleashed and already has a healthy amount of great video posts.
Buell Motorcycles, which primarily uses SolidWorks, is looking for a Senior CAD Designer. They ask for a resume of course, but what would set you out amongst the others applying for the opportunity to design one of the coolest motorcycles around? Go for it.
Update?:SolidWorks has alos posted a job opening for a “Content & Social Media Manager.” Sounds like an interesting title huh? Here’s the specs…
The content and social media manager for SolidWorks Corporation will be responsible for leading the creation and execution of all global, online content strategies targeting a variety of customers and prospects including engineers and designers in industries ranging from machinery and metalworking to plastics and consumer goods.
So, now you have two places to try out some of your newly implemented hiring strategies. I’m sure it will also help if you tell them you read SolidSmack.

It’s a little late for a reply to this post but, Buell does not primarily use Solidworks. They have a seat or two but they mostly use a package, whose name I can’t remember, that is popular with some of the European super car manufacturers.
That said, I’ve worked with Buell and it would be a fun place to work. It has its ups and downs like anyplace but it is a very small company where an engineer could have a big impact and do some fun stuff (riding a motorcycle as part of you job is not a bad thing).
not at all Matt, thanks for commenting. There’s always more behind the PR that what it seems. A lot of companies use multiple programs I imagine. I think it would be a cool idea for the companies if they were more transparent about the technology they use. That is one thing that lacks on corporate sites that are trying to impress the consumer. There’s a whole (HUGE) segment of engineers and designers that would be attracted to a company just becuase of the way the design and manufacture things, don’t you think?
