Don't know if you can do without the benefits, but looking into contract work would be good way to bridge the gap. Even if you do need benefits, some money is better than none while you look for your next opportunity. Also, it could be good for resume purposes to show you are currently working. Companies are usually in great need of someone to fill in if they have contract opportunities, so if you come close to the prerequisites, it is a good way to get into a company. I have had several of this type of job that have turned into hires by the client company. Try job boards or contract companies, especially those in your area of expertise.
If you need some more ideas, I often look at Andy LaCivita's free materials - He has a lot of materials on how to present yourself well to an employer plus a lot of other helpful materials. Sounds like you are getting some response, though, currently, but those materials may give you some additional ideas and shorten your job hunt.
Best wishes!
