Just keep applying…something will work out eventually!

I know how you feel, though. I’ve got a year-long gap since I worked full-time, six month gap until I worked halftime…I’m getting stressed about it, too. Only about 10% of the places I’ve applied to even respond. (ugh, rude)

I second what baktrax said – find a way to stay involved in the community. If you volunteer regularly with a given organization it could be something you add to the top of your resume as a most recent experience to demonstrate you’ve stayed engaged. It also gives you something to talk about in an interview to account for your time. They want to know you haven’t been sitting around munching on cheetos on the couch.
