Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a procurement assistant. I am in Hartford, in case local advice matters. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.
