Looking for a job can be a daunting and frustrating experience if you haven't been in the market for a job in while.
Being unemployed no longer carries a negative stigma that is did in the past, but being unemployed for too long can hurt you. In the job market today, it is an employer's market, meaning: there are far more qualified applicants for a job than there are positions available. The longer you are out of work, the more employers may feel you are not be up to date on the latest skills.
Therefore, keep your job skills current. If you need to volunteer somewhere that uses your skills or go back to school to take classes to demonstrate you have and know the latest skills in job market will show you are being proactive being in the "know" of your set of job skills.
Be certain to list any and all recent and relevant classes or volunteer work you perform to your resume or cover letter so your future potential employer is aware of your skills.
