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

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I have been trying to stay organised about it. My family is supportive but nervous. How did you start?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 12 months.

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