What Happens When Your Unemployment Runs Out
Offer to volunteer in an organization related to your field of great interest.
Identify and then articulate your top 5 skills; it's becoming much more of a skill-based economy than the usual knowledge-based economy.
Pursue certifications or short-term training courses, in both person or online. Accomplish at least two job-related tasks every day.
Create a comprehensive online profile on LinkedIn or similar sites and use it every single day to construct connections and check for opportunities. Don’t be worried about the dream job now; that may come later.
