Industry layoffs, what are people doing?, office manager here

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. It has been a long 20 weeks. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere.

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 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
