Feel Confident In Your Career: Stack Your Skills
To thrive in the current work landscape, you have to identify what relevant skills you need in your role and in desired roles, and then become proficient in them. Adding to your skill sets not only helps you be more confident, it also shows future employers that you value learning. It can also help you feel more confident in the job market, even if you don’t have a degree. One of the best ways to keep adding to your skills is through something called “skill stacking.” Instead of focusing all of your energy into mastering just one skill, you can invest your time and efforts into learning a range of skills that, when combined, work well together. Employers not only recognize people who have a variety of skills, but people who are willing to learn and are flexible.
Skill stacking will help you stand out in the crowd, since the more skills you have, the more valuable you are to a future employer. Using skill stacking can help you find a combination of skills that make you unique, especially if you are on an alternative career journey. No matter what industry you are currently in or are trying to start a new career in, using skill stacking to pursue your career dreams is a great strategy.
