Well guys,
I moved out to Chicago about 2 months ago to be with my girlfriend... right after selling off my last profitable website (to pay for the moving costs) ... and I've been looking for a job ever sense.
So far, it has not worked out as planned. I have applied for so many jobs, but most big corps are looking for someone with a degree, REGARDLESS of your experience, so I've been pretty much shafted at every turn.
This is my last chance, if I don't get a job this week I will be moving back to Lake Tahoe (not such a horrible thing I guess...) to live with my Mom for a while.
Bring on the "Pathetic Newbie, living with your mom" posts ... but that's the way it is. I made decent money last year, and now I owe the US/Cal governement about 9k in taxes .... so fuck me.
I'm not looking for a handout, but if anyone wants to hire a webmaster/promoter/SEO'er/flash designer/VB programmer in the next few days, I would be STOKED to work for you. And even though my portfolio is not that large, I PROMISE you I will do some good work. I will stay up working 19 hrs a day for 8 hrs a day pay ... I just need a fucking job badly.
My beta portfolio / resume can be found at:

Password for my resume: "pmprivate".
That's it. If this doesn't work, I give up. My girlfriend can cry all she wants, I am out of here. I just can't fucking afford it.
Thanks people,
-Phil
