I don't know if my company is hiring for graphic artists, but they are actually growing right now (despite everything).

he could go to this link and post his resume

Below is the main website of the company. They have offices in many locations across the country. They are mainly an engineering company, but they do have graphics people in their marketing offices.

If he is a graphic designer, I suggest that he improve the graphic quality of his resume. It looks like not much time was spent on the visual aspect of it, although keep in mind that the final output should look simple.
At the very least, it should be contained to ONE page. This could be accomplished by using simpler language, and by removing stuff. There is probably too much information in there, and trimming it down would probably help the reader focus on the most important aspects of what he is all about.

I recently lost my job and had to find a new one. I graduated from college a year and a half ago, so I thought that would make me a marketable commodity. Unfortunately for me though, I have observed that many companies out there are aware that (for whatever field they work in) there is a large pool of unemployed EXPERIENCED professionals (who were laid off from failed smaller companies), so many companies are on the prowl to improve their staff of experienced professionals, more so than recent graduates. Based on your friend's resume, this might be a good thing for him! My job search lasted 4 months from layoff to new hire. Hopefully your friend won't have to go without a job for that long!
