search jan 29 in this newsgroup--lots of opinions here.
my personal test would be to open up a recent ADT 3.3 or Revit 5.0 model and see if the interview--ee can edit it, understand it, or has he/she ever even used such software?
The way I see it, AutoCad is on the way out--Revit is the future. If a recent grad, or even a so-called experienced cadd operator can't use model-based cadd, then I would strongly suggest to them to catch up. Time is flying by.
Just my thoughts.
