DO NOT PUT YOUR COURSES ON YOUR RESUME!!!
When looking for job in the design field, no matter if it is at a showroom or a firm, never list the courses you have taken. The reason being, no one knows the details of the courses that you have listed and if it's confusing or doesn't pertain to the company they will toss the resume almost instantly. IE: Applying to a furniture showroom and putting that you've taken a textiles class.
The catch 22 is that the knowledge that you have gained from these classes could potentially land you a job, it's about how it is presented. The best way to go about this is adding your experience on your resume as your skills. Instead of putting that you took AutoCad 101, put that you are experienced in AutoCad programming. If you have taken a class in textiles, don’t put Textiles 101 but “fluent with textile specifications.”
