[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks PP.  Usually I agree that it's best to look for a job while you have another but in this case I'm thinking of actually taking a little time off to regroup, network in my new area and figure out a better path.  I think one of the mistakes I made here was panicking about being unemployed after the move and jumping into something that sounded good without actually taking time to look into it or research it as much as I should so I don't want to do that again.  I am pregnant and due in the winter plus we also recently learned the one of our other children has some special needs so I thought if I did need to explain the gap I might attribute it to taking some time off to address family health issues.  How would you think about that as a hiring manager?  I have been actively searching for about 3 months but the market I live in is really small so things don't come up very often.  It's also very seasonal so I don't expect anything to come on between Sept-Feb.  I am sticking it out for the moment but worried about getting so far down in terms of my confidence that I can't recover.  I also do have another small part time job so it won't be a complete gap.
