Here are some tips to improve what you can offer in your job today and in the future:
• Set broad career goals. It’s important to know where you are and to have an idea where you want to go. Create a plan that outlines where you want to be in the next year, five years and ten years. Having definitive goals is the first step in helping you get there.
• Become a lifelong learner. In order to continually grow and develop, it’s important to look beyond your current expertise and find ways to develop your skillset. This will add value to your current role and will make you marketable for new opportunities. Look for online courses, workplace training sessions or enroll in programs at your nearest college or university.
• Build applicable skills. Focus on developing core competencies that will be of value no matter what role you are in.
