    I've recently completed my MCAD. I also have a CIW Site Designer cert, and am looking for a job. The problem is I have no experience, so I am stuck in the no experience->no job->no experience vicious circle. Any advice on how I can escape this trap?

      Experience can be gained on more than just going out to work. You might want to consider contributing to an open source project, or writing some articles for CP. These are a good way to demonstrate to potential employers that you haven't just sat on your ass and have actually done something practical.

      Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
