If you're near a major city in the western world, I think it will take you about two weeks to find a job. You can spend the first two weeks of that visiting your favourite national park or beachside resort.

On the last Friday pick up the phone and call your three favourite tech companies in the area. In this market, in all likelihood, you will have an offer or three lined up by the next Monday afternoon.

You are exaggerating, OP has almost no experience in software development. And it is never that easy to get a job even if you are good. Nowadays it is more like 2-3 phone interviews, then a whole day series of face-to-face interviews, then HR interview if you are lucky. All of this takes up LOTS of time.
He's not exaggerating ALL that much.. my recent job search in SF went that way ( PhD in Physics, web programmer).
If you know the right people it can be that easy, I agree. However for someone with no experience and no connections in the industry this would be hard.
