Job Hunting

I am in my final semester now at school, and it has been time to go job hunting. This has been an interesting experience thus far as I just can’t seem to find what I want. I want to find a job in web development that allows me to stay in the Midwest. I would prefer to stay in Eau Claire if possible, but that isn’t the deciding factor on finding a job. I really want to stick with web development as I have been doing it for about 3 years now, and it is something I have grown to enjoy. I have worked with many great people and mentors, and I feel that web development is one of the areas that I feel I can continue to enjoy. I don’t want to find a 9-5 job that I don’t like and I think web development will help. It is something that I can already wrap my head around, and I wouldn’t have a hard time moving from my current job where I do semi-professional work into a professional setting.

The moral of why I am talking about this however is that I am having a hard time finding a job in web development. I can find gigs just fine, but I want to find a company where I don’t have to go through the process of finding a gig every few weeks or months just to keep working and this is the problem that I am running into. I guess I just have to continue putting myself out there and hope that I can find something that I want to do.
