Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - what worked for you?

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets.

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

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