Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - 25 weeks in

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as an IT help-desk technician. I am in Seattle, in case local advice matters. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
