Anyway, I am now freelancing for 3 clients and this is a good way of making sure your resume has content while you're not doing a full time role. Many recruitment practitioners look at your resume and try to understand you as a worker. If they find long gaps in between employment, that usually gives them the impression that you have not been successful in gaining employment because you lack quality or that you are lazy. Yes, recruiters can think that and you have no control over it. So the best way is to make sure that does not show on your resume.
So here are ways to make sure your resume does not show long gaps in between employers:
(1) Volunteer
You may visit a friend who owns a business and volunteer for free. You may check online and see if there's a volunteering opportunity. Visit your local city centers to do the same. A few hours a week will do. If you get lucky, you can volunteer for an institution which might end up hiring you if you exceed work expectations.

(2) Freelance
Use different freelancing platforms online. One of which is Upwork. They offer varying freelancing gigs which in some cases could pay you an equivalent of your previous monthly base pay.

Start a small business and make sure to create an online page or a physical store. You can still include this on your resume if you're into business management roles.

Now, go volunteer, find a freelance role, or start your business.
