Goodluck!!
I would take the job, write applications for new positions but in the mean time also try to get a portfolio and website together and see if you can make it on your own. Because of the downturn many businesses may also be looking for cheaper services (i.e. one guy instead of a big firm with a lot of overhead). The main downside is it takes more time to do three things at once, but since it's an admin position you may be able to accomplish some things while at work too.
