What are the possibilities of working with your previous employer to
have a work sample cleared for job hunting purposes?  One would assume
you were terminated under good conditions, that you are collecting
unemployment, and that it would be in the best interests of the
previous employer for you to find new work as quickly as possible.

Surely you must have developed some generic libraries that don't
involve any IP that could be used to showcase your skills.

Personally, I have done so much coding for fun (open source projects,
etc.) that I have a relatively large code base to show prospective
clients.  The mere fact that even my personal projects are completely
commented and contain a complete RCS/CVS log is often a selling point
on it's own.
