Best advice I have is take a job and then look for the job. Your best value to an employer is when you are employed.
Absolutely. Many hiring managers that I've spoken to won't even look at a resume where the person hasn't been employed in "a while" (the definition of "a while" changes from one perosn to another).

Their line of thinking is "someone else has already turned down their resume, I can probably do the same without thinking about it too much."

It sounds like you are hitting the major sites. I know there are some industry-specific job sites (IT has one that I cna't come up with off the top of my head). It might be worth it to do some research into that.

Good luck!
