Where are you located?

LinkedIn and Indeed are probably the best two places to look for jobs right now. I would have him start there. He should for sure get a LinkedIn profile and build his resume out on it.

As far as where to look, definitely tell him to look in Dallas. No shortage of IT jobs there right now. I would also recommend beefing up his resume with every hardware, software, language and development tool that he's used. That's what recruiters search for so if he does that they will eventually find him.

Also, once he's identified the cities he wants to look at, have him identify the top companies he would want to work for if he had his choice. Pick those companies and then go to LinkedIn and search for recruiters from that company. Reach out to the recruiter and see if they would be open to an introductory conversation. It's so easy to get buried in an applicant queue, especially with entry level jobs, that sometimes that personal conversation or outreach will get your resume bumped to the top of the pile. Especially when it comes to military resumes. It's a lot easier to verbally explain how their job converts to the civilian world than putting it in a 1-2 page resume wth military teminology.

internet is the tits.

you put in your location and say how far you want the net to go.

the federal jobs won't be in Dice. USAjobs.com same drill. you search as far as you want or close to home. you too can be a programmer for the CIA/FBI whatever.
