Running out of shows to watch on Netflix? Worrying about how you’re going to land a job? There’s a solution for both. Use your downtime to improve your skillset and make yourself more hire-able.
Two steps: 1. Figure our what skills will make you more marketable. You can search job listings
for the type of job you want and read the required skills. Read 20-50 of these listings and you should get some good ideas. Data visualization? Business intelligence? Perhaps something in the health services field to meet new demand?
2. Acquire those skills - I have two favorite ways to do this
Take a class - Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, Vimeo, Khan. The options are endless.
Volunteer - This may be more difficult to do now, but not impossible. Many organizations need help and you can use your skillset to help them while learning something new and having a pro-bono position to put on your resume.
I’ll write more some this topic and please send me your questions or article ideas. Stay safe - Gary
