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 rpgcrisis.net is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "General Discussion" 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. --------------------

Perhaps you could make a portfolio for all your work and upload it to a certain webspace? Provide contact details. xD

A relative of mine has a job in web designing. With some places now providing services to develop your own website for a small fee, it has become harder to find such jobs. I can advise that you try a job center, and if all else fails, find a job elsewhere. With a background such as yours you could possibly get into developing software or working with ICT which is appealing to certain people.

I suggest you and your wife go look for a job at the nearest Mcdonalds because without a diploma there is no way you will get that lucky the second time.
