Thank you for responding.

Honestly, the reason is that I have no idea how I ended up in those places or why those people thought I could do the work. It's a place I have been exploring by speaking to old bosses, but ultimately I do not really know how to target a search towards people like that.

One of the reasons I'm working on these side projects is to try to show to others who I am as a way of marketing myself to those kinds of people.

Target your LinkedIn network (or offline/email equivalent).

Let everyone you worked with for those 10 years know that you’re looking.
