Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? after 10 years as an HR coordinator

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as an HR coordinator. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere.

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.

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