While browsing for job offers I've been noticing how different the requirements for software knowledge are. Some companies require Sketchup, some Solidworks, some Rhino, some Autocad, etc, and they are all position for Product Designer.
I know how to use Illustrator, Photoshop, I'm very good with pencil and paper, and I know a bit of Rhino since it's what we sometimes used at uni; however, it's virtually impossible to learn well enough more than one 3d software just by following the market requirements.
Unless you attend a specific program in university, the use of software isn't included in your academic path, leaving a huge gap of software requirements exposed. I believe companies are leaning towards hiring 'software operators' rather than true designers, because what they teach you at school you won't be able to apply or use it at work.
