It looks like Naman (You) and your friend is on a same boat my friend.
There is nothing wrong on saying I am looking for. What is your friend area of expertise. I am guessing Java ( i could be wrong) . I think best way you can help him is to suggest him using sajha so he can explore his options by himself , interact with more people who has similar expertise . You are too good to be a friend to help him explain what happens behind the scene and walk him through.

Dont take me wrong bro but I am just saying what i felt. No hard feelings here.
