What is your skill set? You never know who at HN might have some work for you.

You might have better luck at sites like Elance instead of Craiglist. I think you would deal with less flakes.

Personally every contract and job I have had was found through my network. Find your local tech groups and start getting to know people and let them know you are looking for some short term work.

First off, thanks to everyone who responded. I do a lot of java because of coursework (and a research project through school), but I primarily work with python for my personal stuff, as well as your basic html/css/js which I think everyone should know at least some of. I've looked for groups in my area through sites like jelly and coworking as a way to get to know people, but can't find many in my area (central NJ). Any advice on where else to look?
