If you are loking for a job then advertise yourself. Don't wait for an opportunity because no one will pick you if they didn;t know you and have no idea what can you do.
Do you have any skills? The easiest to sell would be: programming, translating, writing, graphic designing - so if you know any of this create thread in Service section with your offer.

Other that than I heard that mods are getting paid for their job, but it is a long way till you could become a mod.
