Step-by-step Guide on Finding Jobs as a Car Designer
Hi, my name is Marco Braun.
I’m a professional car designer and if you’re interested in doing what I do, then this may be the most important thing you read today.
Now as someone that has worked with companies like Lexus and Toyota, you can take it from me.
Studying car design is the easy part.
The hard part is finding a job as a car designer in a studio or a company.
This industry is very competitive. And it’s really hard to find good jobs in the car design space.
Even if you’re from a great school.
I remember when I graduated school, only 3 of the 12 students that studied there got jobs as exterior designers.
And if you can’t find a job within your first year out of school, you’re as good as done.
Why?
Because new talented graduates are always coming into the industry twice a year.
The range of candidates for car design jobs today is very high.
But the industry demand is far lower.
What makes getting a job even more difficult is that the number of interested students keeps going up every year.
And standing out is not so easy.
But I am not here to tell you to give up.
Instead, here’s...
What you can do to get your dream car designing job.
Here’s my number one tip to stand out.
A tip you’re not going to find anywhere else on the internet.
This may even shock you at first, but you have to hear me out.
My number one recommendation to you is this -
Stop drawing cars
99% of the car design stuff you see on Instagram and simkom.com/sketchsite are just sketches and renderings of cool, futuristic cars.
Now don’t get me wrong. These sketches are really good. The details on some of these are amazing.
But they’re not unique.
Everything is just part of one big mass of unoriginality.
All these sketches are just copies of other sketches, with some minor changes added.
Now I studied car design at Pforzheim. And if you showed one of these “cool” instagram car sketches to my professor…
He would tear it up and throw it out the door.
That’s how useless they are.
This industry needs people with fresh ideas.
Not someone that spends their time drawing the same boring car sketches that everyone else does.
But someone with creativity and big visions for the future.
And one thing I notice in a lot of beginners is that they don’t know the real skills you need to become a professional car designer today.
When they join a great car design school, they are very surprised at how useless the things they know are.
So what are the skills you really need to become a successful car designer?
There are three core skills that you NEED to have in order to succeed.
These skills are a must-have for any car designer and when you know what they are…
You’ll be able to start studying things that are actually important. Much more important than being able to draw cool sports cars that get millions of likes on Instagram.
And if you’re a beginner, you must not pursue car design any further unless you know what these skills are.
I’m telling you, if you can master these skills you’re going to stand out from 99% of your competition.
Because 99% of your competition still won’t know what these three skills are. Their portfolio is going to be full of unoriginal sportscars, while yours is way different from theirs.
This will help you stand out when applying to jobs. And you’ll be better placed than your competition.
But before I tell you what these skills are…
I first have to ask you -
Is car design even the right career choice for you in the first place?
Now, I love my life.
Designing cars is such a cool thing and I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do.
But I’ve also seen countless people that want to become car designers…
And these guys end up quitting halfway through because they don’t have what it takes.
They think the work is all about just sitting at a desk and drawing cars for 10 minutes and then that’s it for the whole month.
But there are so many other things that a car designer does.
Now I tried googling “life of a car designer” online and almost nothing accurate came up.
It’s unbelievable to me how people outside of the automobile industry know next to nothing about what it is like to design cars today.
They don’t know all the different things that a car designer has to do.
They know so little about work requirements, salary, work-life balance and all those other things.
Because believe me, you don’t want to waste 5-6 years of your life pursuing car design only to realize that you hate this job.
So how can you know if this job is right for you?
Now if you’re reading this, chances are you’re a student that wants to get into car design.
Or maybe you’re an engineer looking for a career change.
But you’re not sure if this is the right field for you…
You’re not sure if your portfolio is any good…
You’re probably not sure how you can find a spot at a top school, and how you can stand out while applying for internships and jobs.
But what if I can guide you?
What if I can show the step-by-step method you can use to enter a top rated car design school?
What if I could show you the curriculum of what is taught at the University of Pforzheim, one of the most prestigious car design schools in the world?
And I won’t just share this curriculum with you, but I’ll also show you
how you can use this knowledge to learn car design by yourself.
I’ll even share all the cool projects I worked on during my time as a student at Pforzheim.
And there’s more.
What if I can share what it is like to work with great car companies like Lexus and Toyota?
And while we’re at it, I’ll even tell you the EXACT method most car designers (including myself) have used to get cool car design jobs.
I’m talking about things like what you should study, what types of internships to look out for and which addresses to use when applying to these internships.
And remember the 3 skills I told you about?
This is where they come into play. Because you’re
going to need these skills to stand out with your portfolio.
And you can learn about all this in my...
Comprehensive 60 minute masterclass…
That’s right. I’ve made this really detailed 1 hour training for you.
And when you sign up for this class, you’ll learn -
● The lifestyle of a car designer - things like salary, work requirements, work-life balance… This will help you realize if car designing is the right career for you.
● How you can study car design from a great school like Pforzheim, and the curriculum they teach there… I also show you how you can use this curriculum to learn car design by yourself.
● The traditional method all the top car designers used to get the jobs they did today (myself included)... this’ll help you come up with a bulletproof plan when applying to car design jobs.
● You’ll also learn the 3 skills you must have to stand out from 99% of your competition when applying to jobs.
Now, this isn’t a free masterclass.
There is a small fee of $20.
Why?
Because I feel uncomfortable sharing this knowledge for free…
If everyone finds out about this stuff, it’ll automatically lose all it’s
value.
The point of this course is to help you stand out from 99% of your competition. And if this is available to everyone, that’s not going to happen.
The $20 is not for me to profit (believe me, I make a lot more as a car designer)...
But it is a chance for you to show you’re serious and that you appreciate just how valuable this knowledge is.
And as an added bonus…
When you sign up, you also get my personal one-on-one critiques of your sketches, drawings and renderings.
This critique is not for one sketch, not for two, not for three…
It’s not even for one month, nor for two months, nor for three months…
But for the next six months.
That’s right.
You’ll get valuable feedback on every single sketch you make for the next six months…
From an experienced exterior designer that has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry.
I hope you realize just how valuable this offer is.
And if you want all this for yourself….
This is also completely risk-free…
Because of my money-back guarantee.
I 100% guarantee that you’ll find this course valuable or I’ll return your $20 and let you keep this course anyway.
