I need to stop sitting on my hands and wait for an opportunity for a translation job to come. I've been brain storming and I decided to try and contact some companies directly through e-mail. Hopefully, I can attract their attention with my desire for such a job. If not I really hope they take the time and try to answer my questions seriously.
Does anyone else have any other ideas? Hopefully, we can get this brain storm going.

Kato knows someone who looks for volunteer translators. Not sure how that sounds to you, but might be something to look into. I know it's not paid work, but maybe something you can do to have published work.
You saw my comments in your previous post. Also, see if their are employment agencies that could help place you. You shouldn't have to "hire" them, because they get paid when they place someone in a job. ALso, you don't have to accept every interview or opportunity they find. Remember, they want to get paid, so their primary motivation is to place you as soon as possible. You make it clear to them what you want, and don't settle.
Using that technique, I would also try to investigate how people got the jobs that you are desiring. See if you can find the names of folks who do the job you want, try to look for them and see if they are on Twitter or LinkedIn, etc. Send them an email or Tweet asking how someone like you could get into the business.
