Get involved online
LinkedIn - Groups
Facebook - set up a professional page (business page) and post to it daily. Go to any page and click "Create a Page"
Blog - create a professional blog.
Post a weekly or even daily (if you're unemployed you have the time) tip about your professional experiences.
You have more knowledge in your head than you realize.
A classic interview question is when the interviewer asks you to describe a specific challenge you've had and describe how you over came it.
Your first post should answer one important question.. "Why?"
Why do you want to work?
Why do you want to work in your chosen profession.
Why do you want to revolutionize your field?
Actually each of those questions can be a different post.
@RaymondEDuke True there are simpler ones like Tumblr and I use them, but in reality Wordpress is really not that hard to figure out, at least enough to create a simple website. The cost is very low ($7/month for wordpress org hosted) and wordpress com lets you get a paid plan, but the free wordpress com gives you plenty to get started with.

There are other options than WordPress. I know it's the standard for blogging, but it is not very new user friendly and you have to pay to really take advantage of it.
