Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 18 weeks in

I want to move from administrative assistant to something with more stability. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 11 months.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
