#22Upwork. Just spend an hour a day submitting proposals, and you'll be drowning in offers at the end of the month
I have not had a good experience with Upwork, as far as looking for work.
My experience was that I got 100% scam and dangerously unhinged contacts. Not one single valid proposal ever came my way.
I have heard great things about Upwork, but always from people who wanted to hire, as opposed to be hired.

Yes, I just added my email to my profile. If you click on my name, it's in "about".

#24There's an interesting "reverse job board" for Rails devs -> https://railsdevs.com/ that sounds pretty close to what you're looking for. I'm not sure what stack you work with but it might be of interest.
I've thought about this sort of "reverse job board" for the traditional labour market.. How well does it work for rail Devs?
I don't know about rails but I've been part of Codementor (https://www.codementor.io/) for a while now and I found it works really well for small time contracting and building up relationships that can lead to bigger contracts.

#25You will still need to interview for part time roles. Unless it is freelance, in which case you will need to sell yourself instead. Probably no way out of this unless you find a network to tap into.

#26I've used a recruiting company https://www.facet.net/ that also handles contract work, and works with a lot of startups. They can add you to a mailing list to send you opportunities that match your criteria.

#30The part-time developer I’ve frequently used is one of the main contributors to a WordPress plugin I use. They were able to help with some plugin specific customizations as well as on other general work.
Because they were well-respected in the WP community, there wasn’t much interviewing needed other than discussing the specifics of the project.
I found them via the plugin GitHub.
