Kal Penn gave notice to his old job acting on House three months ago, and yesterday he completed his first day as a liaison between the White House and Asian communities. Three months is probably more of a job hiatus than most of us can afford, but it's not rare that I hear of people taking off a few weeks when they're changing jobs. How have you approached time off between jobs?

Ideally I like to try and arrange things so there is about a week off when finishing one job and then starting a new one.
1In reality, I've only changed jobs once so who knows if this will be the case for the future.
not really. the only time that i did have 'time off' between jobs was when i moved from NYC to Florida and needed to GET a job. luckily it took me 2.5 weeks to get a good job - so that was all the time off that i got.
2If it's at all possible, heck YES!
3The only job that I didn't take time off in between is the job I currently have.
4Last time I changed jobs, I had a nice long month and a half-long vacation between jobs, which was kind of nice. I got a lot of stuff done around the house then.
5I'm currently between jobs and didn't even start looking until 6 months in. I budgeted for the time off because I knew I wanted a break. It's been almost 9 mos and I'm finally feeling like it's time to go back. Before this, I've taken anywhere from one to 6 mos off. I just don't see the point in not taking the time if you can.
6A week at the most, otherwise it's waaaaay too difficult for me to get back into the work routine.
