Who would like a guide to landing their first web development job?

I'm in the process of creating a step by step guide that teaches people how to get their first web developer job, and am doing a bit of market research. I was hoping you guys could help me out and let me know if this is something you would be interested in.

The guide teaches you what level you need to be at technically, guides you through creating an online presence, a personal site, an awesome portfolio, and finally guides you through the process of talking to companies and ultimately landing your first web developer job.

The guide would include not only the concepts, but will also include a step by step action plan to take you from zero knowledge to landing your first full time web developer job.

If you would read this, what would you pay for it? I'm thinking of a price point of $5.99 for everything I just described above, and a premium version for $9.99 which would also include step by step guides for learning 4 major web development frameworks: Meteor, Ruby on Rails, Django, and Laravel, as well as a guide to teaching yourself any web development framework you choose.

Any and all input is appreciated, thanks so much!
