Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? after 4 years as a line cook

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. It has been a long 19 weeks. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere.

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.

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