Moderate pivot potential — some transitions require new skills.

But here's the thing

Yes, Postal Service Clerk is changing. But your experience isn't worthless — 80% of what you already know applies directly to Customer Service Representative. That's not starting over. That's building on what you have. And most people in your situation haven't started moving yet — that's a head start, not a deadline.
