Is she hearing back from companies initially? If not, she might be applying to the wrong jobs (old, not actually hiring, wrong skills or experience level, etc).

Is she hearing back from companies initially? If not, she might be applying to the wrong jobs (old, not actually hiring, wrong skills or experience level, etc). She might need to fix up her resume, LinkedIn profile, etc. Does she have at least one decent looking publicly accessible project? That can help. She should consider blogging about technical things to demonstrate she can communicate about technical things. 5-10 posts is all you need. That can help. She should network. Get referred to jobs. Meet people by participating in organizations doing events (online and or in person), volunteering e.g. Code for America. Do informational interviews. Etc. Then there's the phone stage, the pair programming stage. Each stage has its skills to work on. She'll find a job if she engages with the process. Job searching is a grind. Find a support group.
