I need an advice
Hello!
I'm new here. I've been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I've been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like www.spicyhome.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "Usenet alt.home.repair" category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I'm wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.

My advice is that you need to use a real e-mail address if you really
want to get a reply. |

Same goes for your wife. Sorry to sound harsh but that's the reality of life. |

If you are even remotely serious, a big part of your problem may be gramatical in your application for a job. Your subject line is spelled correctly but is not correct english. That's workable if you are a person where english is a second language but not if your primary aim is to get a job in the USA/Canada with a company that wants bi-linqual but enough care given so at least the *subject* line is correctly formatted. |
