I'm surprised no one has mentioned using the resources at his college to get a job. I'd expect he'd have much better luck showing up at his college's job fair and talking to a developer/recruiter in person who is looking to hire a college student than sending his resume somewhere online to compete with hundreds of other people. Research the companies beforehand so when you talk to the person you can talk intelligently. Have a friend/career services review your resume.
