Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - 7 months and counting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as an office manager. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Which areas are hiring?

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.
