Dude, I feel your pain... I got laid off last year after almost three years at a local ad agency. I was unemployed for 6 long months (the longest I have ever been unemployed in my life, used to working up to three jobs, kid you not)... Took unemployment for 3 months, freelanced for my usual clients and connections, than took a temp job with a marketing department. That ended and a week later I got a call from an ad agency I had interviewed with a year ago. I needed the job and needed the money. Took the job out of necessity and making more money than I have ever made in this super sh*t economy and HATE IT. I've come to find, finding the right job, the right people and chemistry is all that matters. Soooo, my suggestion for you is to take the time to do it right and just "survive". Things work out. When I lost my job, I thought I was f*cked. Bust your ass and be both patient and persistent. Companies are always looking for talent and things will turn around. I not only say this, but plan on doing it. Me and my girlfriend are moving in May (most likely to Portland) with no jobs waiting for us, in hopes of finding happiness and a future. It is a leap of faith and could be potentially suicide for both our careers and our savings, but we are both looking for change and willing to take a chance.
