I'm in San Diego. I'm always on the lookout for contracts/jobs, either
locally or telecommuting, and they seem to be very, very rare. The only
viable opportunities I've found, I heard about privately from someone
within the hiring organization. All I can think is that you have to have
inside contacts who very selectively announce opportunities just to a few
people that they know.
Maybe hirers aren't finding people, because they keep the opportunities so
quiet. :/
