Pivoting from payroll clerk to something new after 7 years as a payroll clerk

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a payroll clerk before this. I have a little time and a small budget for training.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.

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