Career change after a layoff, where to begin? after 18 years as an event coordinator

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

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

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