Pandemic Proof Your Career

One of my regrets is that I never finished my college education but anyone that knows me can say that my drive to learn has never ended. I frequently read and work on developing new skills. It may be learning new technical skills, improving my ability to communicate, obtaining licensure or certifications, learning to work better with people, etc, I invest heavily in time and money.
During these uncertain times it is more crucial than ever before. Companies assess a passion for improvement, a willingness to volunteer and the flexibility to adapt to new situations when making retention decisions or offering promotions. In addition, those attributes are attractive to perspective employers.
You should regularly work to improve skills and communicate your efforts to your superiors along with your desire to contribute in more ways. These things will provide dividends throughout your career.
