People who have skills are employable, regardless of what industry segment they come from. My advice to anyone seeking a job is first, understand your career values and anchors. Know what companies are interested in before approaching them. Understand the trends affecting the industry. Find a healthy industry, not just a healthy company.
Companies exist in an environment.
Then, find a healthy organization, not just a good boss. Research available information about the industry and the company. There is a wealth of information and the ability to apply for positions through the Internet. It is the career selection mechanism of the future. Volunteer to start as a temp or consultant.
