Hi all. I've been studying web design through Treehouse for some time now, and I have also just got an MA Graphic Design degree, but I'm struggling to find employment.
I live in the south east in the UK.
Are there any good online or offline places to look for beginner web design jobs around here? By beginner I mean first time jobs, as opposed to basic skills jobs. I have an academic qualification as well as the skills I have learned here on Treehouse, but so many jobs require two years of experience in the workplace or some sort of IT degree. It is quite frustrating.
Any advice would be great.

Hope it helps, and i wish u nothing but success!
