With the recession having slowed the jobs market down considerably it’s becoming more common for professionals to accept stop-gap jobs. If this is the case for you it’s important that try to stay ahead of the curve in readiness for when the recruiters start calling again. One thing you can do is to accept voluntary work for charities. So if you’re a marketer or an accountant try and find a charity that needs some marketing consultancy or their books keeping.

In particular if you work in the world of internet marketing offer to manage a charities AdWords account. Google offer an AdWords grant where charities can use it to promote themselves for free. This would be a great addition to your cv and you are doing some good in the process.
