Opportunities

I believe if you make your own you will get noticed. Most of the "working world" finds a company to hire them and that is the opportunity. Then there are those who march to the beat of their own drummers and make their own opportunities. There are those who fall into the category in between who are seeking company employment but until they reach that point they create something during the time in between. That project gets noticed and then in turn they do also. I attend as many meetings and programs in my field as possible with the goal of finding a company that believes in what I am doing. There are at least three benefits to taking that route. First, you will have something to show a person which may lead to a company during your downtime. Two, you will be too busy to be too depressed. Third, you show your dedication since you are doing real work while you aren't traditionally employed. They say that finding a job is a full time job, it is, but why not have the employer come to you because of what you are already doing. Make your own opportunities. I do that by conducting disability presentations, projects, and events. One never knows but it seems to be working.
