Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? after 4 years as a retail manager

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a retail manager. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. 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.
