I am confused why, despite telling us that you have not found any work, you are now posting jobs as an outsourcer: http://www.proz.com/job/688439

An hour or two a day spent on this should eventually reap rewards. Above all, boost your confidence levels!

Not jobs, only one I stumbled upon and that is way over my head as it's the translation of the whole web of the Spanish government to French, English and German, and I do not do German. And I am *not* the outsourcer, just a guy who saw an artcile about the job and did his homework to try to make it available to the people who helped me
I also intended it to be a sort of parting gift for all those kind people who tried to help me get a job, as I cannot do anything else and as it's very improbable that an unemployed old fart like me who cannot even get a single translation job in 6 months could ever help all these working translators. So, when I stumbled on the article about this job, it seems the best opportunity to give back some of the help I received.
I also entertain the hope that, if somebody or some agency gets the job, they will remember me and take me for the French part.

But, to post it as a job is not the way Proz.com should be used, because in this way people will contact you and you are considered the out sourcer, there is also a rule for this http://www.proz.com/siterules/jobs_posting/1.8#1.8
You should have posted a thread instead, to inform your peers

My confidence levels are sky-high. I'm sure that, if I get only one job one time, I will do it so well that the customer will repeat and spread the word and my reputation. In my eyes I'm still very young, so young that I still ride 2100 km in 21 hours non-stop on my steel horse. The problem is that for others, those who hire, I'm just an old fart that is no use.

I have read all your comments and I hope that at this time you have a job. I am finding myself in your same situation, so I really wish you find soon the job you deserve (and then give me the clue).
I will just give you my favourite quote: "Thanks to its perseverance, the turtle made it to Noah's ark", no matter which thing you end up doing, you have worked a lot during this last year sooner or later you will see the results.
