In that spirit, I'll offer a few suggestions -

1) Read the questions others are posting and consider responding
privately if you have the experience to help.

2) Rather than asking for somebody to "give you a job," consder asking
for advice or contacts.  Advice is much more freely given than jobs
and may actually lead to a job.

3) Pay attention as you go about your day.  Maybe you call to check on
your dry cleaning and find that they have an IVR that is set up all
wrong and driving away customers.  Talk to the owner about how you can
help.

4) Consider giving away your services.  Volunteer to upgrade the old
key system at your favorite charity if they pay for the equipment.  If
you get the gig, you help a worthy cause, make solid contacts and get
a work reference to boot.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but so is a job.  As an
employer, I'm not going to hire somebody looking for a handout but
I'll definately hire somebody working hard to find a place where their
skills can fit.

Good luck.
