I need an advice

Post by Arrotoacure » Thu Apr 02, 2009 11:28 pm

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 https://www.routertech.org is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "Firmware" 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.

Do you have any other development skills or is it only web design? I think a fair amount of flexibility would be helpful.

Hi Arrotoacure ,
W E L C O M E to this forum. This is Bret. I am also a newbie here & professionally an engineer. At present, I am staying in Cape-Town at present. I find forum discussion, a very interesting stuff to do. I used to hang out with these forums during my spare time. Many topics have got a healthy discussion over here. I think it would be most enjoyable while doing discussions in this forums.And pleased to meet all the other members of this site.
:)
