Pivoting from payroll clerk to something new after 3 years as a payroll clerk

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. Thank you in advance. My family is supportive but nervous.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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