A friend, who is not on HN, is seeking an internship position in web design for the second half of the year.
He is German and will finish his Bachelor's degree in a few months. While in school he also worked as a designer for an advertising company. There, he mostly did HTML, CSS and ActionScript, with a little PHP and MySQL thrown in.
- I think his biggest issue is, that he doesn't really have anything to show yet, besides the things he did at work the past year. Will this be a problem in getting hired?
- What is the best way to find internship positions in LA? What he did for now is, search for any related companies in the area and send an application if they're hiring.
- He will be in LA next week, is it a good idea to just walk into offices and hand in your resume?
- Do you think he'll have any chance of getting hired at all? (Lack of experience, local VS foreign interns, etc.)
I won't be able to answer any questions within the next few hours, but thanks in advance for any kind of input.
