I need an advice

Unfinebix

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.polkaudio.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "DIY Mods Tweaks" 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 would be to continue to do web design when you can get the work and do some serious soul searching with regard to what career path to take from here. Try and determine what you think you may like to do if web design work was an impossibility. You may have to consider doing work that you have no desire to do in the short term to make ends meet. I have no idea how old you are, education, work history etc.... but I can tell you that your situation is not uncommon these days.

I know it can be scary but keep plugging away, thinks will improve.



Good Luck
