Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - 14 months and counting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as an HR coordinator. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

A short certificate helped me more than a new degree would have. Check what local colleges offer.
