If you figure this out, please let me know. I tried to take on a few gigs networking with independent consultants and nothing has come of it. I think it's hard even if you have a strong sales and business development background. Good luck!

I took the approach of working as a consultant for my last 2 former employers. Over the past couple of years, as the companies have split up, I have gained work with the various components which has worked out to the volume of work I was looking for.
This was nit planned by me or the companies. It just sort of organically evolved. Because I new the companies, culture and processes it was a win win.
It's an approach to consider.

Make sure that is in your resume as AI software may pick up for recruiters looking. Also, make sure your LinkedIn is updated with this info. I'm a former recruiter and still in the career placement industry. Hope this helps!
