Changing careers at 11 years into a job, is it realistic? - 5 months and counting

After 11 years as an event coordinator I am thinking about moving into a different field. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My family is supportive but nervous.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 5 months.

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