text: NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK!!!  Highlight your education and your work experience.  Let EVERYONE know that you are available to consultant on whatever types of projects you are looking to do.  Think about starting small (maybe taking a few assignments that you ordinarily would not take) just to get your name out there and get your foot in the door.  Always have your contact/business card available along with a resume summarizing your experience and stating the services you offer.  \n\nGood luck!
