Applying again - need advice

MS, Financial Math. 7 years of software experience prior to MS. 1 year experience in commodities market risk before layoff. I have been out of a job for 10 months now. I took some time off to take care of my infant son but I am apping again. I want to target trading roles, preferably in equity options, tho' open to FI desks as well. Any advice on companies that might be open to someone with my profile?
