Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - 12 months and counting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a security officer. I worked as a security officer before this. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more.

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
