Yes, it's a sign that advertisements pull based on things that you've been looking at online.

Sounds like he/she should volunteer around town and learn more about non-profits/social service agencies that way. Best place to start: www.handsonportland.org and go from there. Informational interviews are also a good step, but remember these people actually have jobs and do work, so they may not be able to sit down with you immediately.

It's a brave new world out there young man/woman. Sending an email to anyone asking for advice or help getting a job is about as half-assed as you can get. Get offline and go knock on some doors. Take names and kick ass. Then you shall find what you seek. Godspeed.
