Are you with any of the agencies like Creative Circle that companies use to hire contract employees? That's how I found a full-time job. Started as a contractor, the company liked what I did for them, so they flipped me to a full-time position.

I’ve tried with them, I get alerts and if I see things I like I’ll reach out but they never get back to me so I thought it was bs

Hello Fish,

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience. My only work experience has been working at a hospital admitting patients and I think it would be a good idea to volunteer to design websites for anyone needing it. Do you know of any organizations or companies in need of volunteers? I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.
