Industry layoffs, what are people doing? (Cleveland)

Three companies in Cleveland cut staff in the same month. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
