Re: Graduate seeking quick career advice!
Hi Sukhjinder
Firstly, I can not avoid being cruel to be kind. Good grammar and spelling are prerequisites in the field you wish to enter. Read through your initial post and see if you are satisfied.
Next step, go through your local directory and find every small business within a couple of miles that does not have a website. Do not phone, or email, go and knock on their door. Be absolutely honest about your position but do not offer to create a site for nothing, this is alien to the business mind. A cost saving in a situation of mutual benefit will be better received.
You will find an ample supply of people who would love a website but are afraid of the technology, or the cost. Offer to set them up with a decent, small site for a couple of hundred dollars, including their great new domain name and hosting.
Do this with sincerety and you will not go short of work. Then you have your portfolio and if these small companies grow, so does your existing base. A reward for helping in their success.
