Career change after a layoff, where to begin? (Spokane)

I want to move from recruiter to something with more stability. I worked as a recruiter before this. My family is supportive but nervous. How did you start?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
