1 Assess your situation

The first step is to take stock of your current situation and plan your next moves. How long can you afford to be out of work? What are your financial obligations and sources of income? Do you qualify for any benefits or assistance? Do you have a clear idea of what kind of 3D printing job you want and what the market demand is? These are some of the questions you need to answer to set realistic goals and expectations for your job search.

3 Network with others

Networking is crucial for finding new 3D printing opportunities, as it can help you discover hidden jobs, get referrals, and make connections with potential employers or collaborators. You can network online by creating a LinkedIn profile, joining relevant groups, following influencers, and reaching out to former colleagues, clients, or mentors. You can also network offline by attending events, meetups, workshops, or conferences related to 3D printing, where you can showcase your work, learn from others, and build relationships.

4 Showcase your portfolio

Your portfolio is your best tool to demonstrate your 3D printing skills, creativity, and experience to potential employers. You should have a digital portfolio that you can easily share online, as well as a physical portfolio that you can bring to interviews or events. Your portfolio should include your best 3D printing projects, with clear descriptions, images, and videos that highlight your process, challenges, and solutions. You should also include testimonials, awards, or recognition that you have received for your work.

Starting new projects to showcase existing and developed skills in the field is beneficial in having a clear and current overview of what you can do and a means to keep your spirits high and attitude positive. It shows gumption and dedication; even if you don't have a hobbyist printer at home, these things are generally accessible in libraries or activity centres, depending on where you live. It also helps build confidence and reminds you of your worth, how much you have learned and how much there is still to learn.
