You can brush up PHP in a week or less. Don't go the waiter/shop assistant route. Just start interviewing for every and any position you see until you get on

Unless you are absolutely broke with zero money. Then take the first job you can, but make sure you take something that allows you time to be able to go for interviews.
- DrJokepu 13y agoThis is very good advice. Except that I would brush up on .NET (in a week or less) instead. He would make more money.
- modulus0 13y agoGood point. You can't learn Java that fast (at least not well enough to make money at it... that's why they're the highest paid developers... people pay lots for souls.)
- gremlinsinc 13y agoAlso if you're gonna go w/ PHP give Laravel a shot it's syntactically VERY close to rails, and just makes PHP beautiful.
- SheepSlapper 13y agoLaravel is pretty awesome, I agree. But if you haven't touched PHP in a while then I'd recommend getting familiar with the vanilla language again first. Beacuse who knows what kind of frameworks you may be using in a future gig, but PHP is PHP.
- tyi4 13y agoHaha, being a shop assistant is probably considerably more intellectually fulfilling then being a PHP developer.
