Pivoting from data-entry clerk to something new - 3 weeks in

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a data-entry clerk before this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 3 months.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
