Career change after a layoff, where to begin?

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as an HR coordinator before this. My family is supportive but nervous. 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 7 months.

You likely have more transferable skills than you think. Write down what you did, not what the job title said.
