I really need a Web Developer's job. Suggestions?

3 pointsby creatomover 13 years ago
Hello,<p>I am the first year CS student and I really want to stop getting money from my parents and earn my own. So, I want to get full or part-time job as a Web Developer (PHP, MySQL, jQuery). I have 3 years experience in each field.<p>Could you suggest any good sites where I could find this type of job? I need salary just to pay my rent and to buy food. That would be enough. I tried freelancer.com and other similar sites, didn't like them very much.<p>Thank you for any suggestions.

Do you need to stop taking money from your folks, or is it a pride issue? That is, can they afford it or not?<p>Honestly, if it's not something where you need to do it to help with the family's well being, I'd strongly consider just continuing to leech off them for a while, at least the first couple years in college. Paying your way is great, but worrying less about that kind of thing is more conducive to learning.

A lot of students freelance. You might want to start out advertising on CL for local businesses. It will be slow initially, but you will pick up speed.<p>How much do you need to make a week? How many sites do you think you can do a week? Halve that and you'll know how much you need to charge.

If your parents aren't sweating you about the money, don't sweat them. Look at your local Craigslist.
