Rebound Job

A job you take when you've recently lost or feel you are about to lose another (usually better) job. The rebound job is likely not in one's chosen career path, and often its only purpose is for the worker to earn money while searching for a more suitable (better paying/career-advancing) position.

Waiting tables is just my rebound job, since I was just layed-off from a great Marketing company. I've gotta pay the bills until I can find another good Advertising job!

Luke: "Damn CG is looking Fat."
Alec: "Yeah, it's that rebound swell"
Garrett: "She shouldn't have eaten so many doughnut holes."
