Monster.com is a great resource for finding out who is hiring. Horible at actually getting a job. Companies receive 10s of thousands of applications for every job posted. They use filters for key words to narrow the field. Resume has to be extremely creative to get through the filters. That being said, networking is still the number one way to find a job.

Best thing to do is to get a Seattle based address so that his resume looks like he lives in Seattle. That way, he won't be eliminated just because he's from out of town. He will then want to get his cell phone changed to a Seattle number (or get another cell phone).

From there, network, network, network. Use monster and the local paper to find out who's hiring. Then, go find out who might know someone at that company. As well, use the local universities to network. If you go to the hiring / placement center, they might assist if you approach them properly.
