Tips for getting contract work

I’m looking for part-time and/or short term contract work, but having a hard time because all the major job sites have either no ability to filter, or the posters just select every option so their post shows up in every search.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find this kind of work? Is it best to source it on my own, or are there good agencies to work with?

I’m looking for any kind of developer roll (I’ve done backend and full stack), and am open to mentoring/tutoring as well.

    It went surprisingly smoothly. I sent an updated resume and filled out their application, then we met for a first round of interviews, then after passing I went to their office for a final round of interviews.

    Naturally, I still had to go through their usual application process. I think having a recruiter recommend me helped to ensure someone actually read the resume though.
