Have you considered possibly taking some on-line courses?  Many colleges offer them these days.  You can work at your own pace, and when you have the time to sign on.  This can be beneficial in many ways.  First -- you don't have to "look" busy anymore.  Second, you can truthfully say that you are taking courses to improve your skills and increase your value to their organization.  That will show them you have the initiative to progress.



Then, you can tell them that since you're increasing your knowledge base, you're sure there must be a new project (or even an old one that has stalled for whatever reason) that can be given to you so you can "prove" what you're capable of.



If all else fails, do some research on what is really needed by this company but that no one is doing or has the time to do, and then make it your project (getting the boss's approval first, of course).  Chances are, he/she will appreciate your initiative.  It's worth a shot!!



Good luck.
