Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - first time posting

I want to move from data-entry clerk to something with more stability. My family is supportive but nervous. How did you start?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 2 months.
