Changing careers at 9 years into a job, is it realistic? - 12 months and counting

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

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

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.
