Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 4 weeks in

I want to move from procurement assistant to something with more stability. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Has anyone made a similar move?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 10 months.

I took a small pay cut for a year, and it was worth it for the growth afterwards.
