Ans: Hi DK, have you tried connecting with your previous employers or friends/family businesses to check how you could help them with their businesses on a contract? Please be open to taking a salary cut as they may not be able to match your last drawn salary.

Also, I'd suggest reviewing different job boards like LinkedIn and Naukri to find the most suitable openings near to where you live. And apply them with your resume. Just applying the job may not be enough, closely follow up with them via phone call and email to the hiring manager or company's info/careers email.

Your breadth of experience can be extremely valuable :)
