Hey everyone, I wanted to post a couple questions to the group as my brother and I have been struggling to find work in industry for the last several weeks even applying as often as we can and were looking for some recommendations we may not have heard of.
I'm looking for anything QA Tester/Analyst related or even community management/mod from myMore customer service backround.

my brother is trying to find a fit with his skills:
Web Developer: two years of experience working with angular + node at SignNow. Skills in React, Html+Css, JavaScript, TypeScript. Database knowledge in mongoDb. Experience with Docker

Anyone with any suggestions would be a great help as its been hard finding anything open lately. Yes, we're both signed up on Linkedin, Indeed, and ziprecruiter perusing the job posts daily.
