Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - what worked for you?

Three companies in Louisville cut staff in the same month. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. Which areas are hiring?

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.
