I've signed up for the major jobs sites, dice, monster, etc. And some smaller ones like cybercoders and talentpair. I indicated I was interested in contract work and my mailbox is full of 20 to 50 emails a day.

A majority are for lower rate jobs, but there's a promising nibble once or twice a week.

Contract to hire seem to be super popular right now, but you're under no obligation to accept their offer. In my experience their offers are less than have the contract rate.

I also ran my own consulting company for a while. Word of mouth was my best way to find work. It seemed like once I finished a job with someone they were happy to tell me about their buddy than needed work done too.

Do prepare for the downtime between jobs. I had dry spells as long as 5 months.
