Pivoting from dental hygienist to something new - first time posting

After 8 years as a dental hygienist I am thinking about moving into a different field. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Has anyone made a similar move?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 7 months.

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