          Last gig? CV on job board.
          Current gig, phone call from an agent who has used me before and keeps in touch.

            That's how it works for me these days.

                Last 2 gigs:
                1. Someone I'd previously contacted on the support forum for a specific technology got in touch and asked if I was available
                2. A company I'd previously contracted for contacted me through LinkedIn to ask if I was available

                    Last gig, agent told the client that for their needs, they need to get me in to fix it, so headhunted I guess.

                    Current gig, someone I worked with years ago spotted I was available on Linked In and recommended me to the client. Which isn't an option in your poll.
