Industry layoffs, what are people doing?

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a pharmacy technician. It has been a long 11 weeks. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

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

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