Are there any IT web development/designer jobs out there?
I do not live in the US but jobs in web development here in Canada are in high demand, even with the recession and overseas outsourcing. If he has little commercial experience to back up his resume, he should look around for small businesses or, if the location just isn’t into “technology”, make his own work by making original software/libraries/code and sell it or generate interest in his skills buy putting it on the internet. Also, I worked for 2 years by myself starting with family members who needed a website or something and word of mouth kept me going. This “field” is always moving, always seeing new stuff and always has room for innovation. If your friend can make something relatively cool, even if it’s not “the best” he can make some sort of profit from it or find a job by beefing up his curriculum. I’m pretty sure any respectable company, when they see someone who works well and has good ideas will not take his candidacy lightly. The key to a career in this field in my opinion
