Even if you can't find "the job" I would consider doing something part time where you're at for no other reason than resume building. HR folks stare long and hard at gaps in employment. What is your skill set? I am a physician but spent about 20 years working various odd jobs; as a manager at a retail store, data entry jobs through temp agencies, worked in a call center explaining claims and how they were paid over the phone, even worked holiday work at the malls. At this point you would be working to pay for childcare but it does start the process of filling in the gaps. Plus you may be able to find more steady/benefits job while in the market.

I found out the medical transcriptionist makes $12 a discharge summary (basically summarizes treatment while reading through the chart.) She does about 70 a day. Do the math. Freaking awesome, right? These are just a few things rattling through my head.
