Yup, I've held multiple titles here, I'm in California.

I started as a Print Graphic Designer, then moved to I.T. Due to more layoffs I then became I.T./ Web Dev. I weathered the storm once again and had my job mutated into I.T. Assistant/ Web Dev/ Digital Campaign Coordinator.

Will they still need someone to do what you do occasionally?

Try to stay on working one or a few days per week or work for them on a contract basis.

It is easier to find a job if you are currently employed so hanging on 1 day per week or as a contractor you could list them as an employer or yourself as a contractor.

If you're interested and have the skills you could try to pick up some of your own clients including your current employer.

Sounds like you have basic skills but will need to spend some time getting to the next level.

If you enjoy web development you could elevate your skills by learning web application development front end with Angular or React back end with Rails or Laravel. If you have a few months till your let go you could make some progress learning new skills.

You won't be an expert or even employable over that time but the sooner you start learning the sooner you will be.

Check with companies in your area and see what skills they are hiring for.

If bringing in the same level of income isn't critical you could take an entry level developer position and start working your way up.

Play around with some of the popular languages and see what you like, what you are interested in.

Good luck.

Enjoy the Holidays, things will work out. You're still young, have a good foundation of skills to build on.
