Not every contracting job is advertised. It is often a result of extensive networking and marketing yourself to the right people/companies. This often comes from being seen (i.e. professional organizations, training sessions, talking about yourself more than some people feel comfortable doing including at seemingly random places, etc.) and not just composing and mailing off a lot of resumes. It goes back to, when it comes to getting in the door, "it isn't what you, it is who you know" and how you go about putting yourself out there.

There are mental health (and other fields of expertise) contractors in many cities who do unadvertised jobs for various mental health private and state-funded companies. They make a lot of money and lasting networks doing it.
