Learn New Skills

Potential employers may ask what you have been doing since your last job.  One thing to capitalize on is learning new skills.  You could go back to school.  You could take computer classes.  You could learn a new language.  Get a certification within your field of work.  Get a certification in a new field or work.  The possibilities here are endless.  The point is that if you have the time and sometimes the money learning a new skill will keep you busy, keep you connected for opportunities and possibly land you a new job.
