I need an advice

[BalaBeetFuest]

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.digitalvb.com is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "Pre-sales questions Premium Vbulletin Styles" 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.

FreeLancing is probbaly the way to go these days seeing the condition of workplace and the rate at which layoff's are happening. There are many websites which offer FrreLance Jobs, small but steady income. Eventually it comes down to how talented you are and how dynamic your work is. I would recommend try design blogs, they post frequent free lance jobs and also proper jobs. Start with smashingmagazine.com maybe you can get a headstart from there.
