Increase Your Value

In this job market, it is imperative that you increase your value and have a edge up on the competition. One of the best things that you can do is study up in your field. You need to keep on top of all the developments in the industry that you are in and be aware of the new discoveries or cloud services. The internet has so many resources that it is ridiculous that not everyone is taking advantage of them. I mean there are podcasts, YouTube videos, free online courses, and all kinds of audiobooks so you can even listen to them in the car during your commute. Another great things you can do is ask to be taken on a tour and ask a lot of questions while doing it. Many people love to talk about themselves and what they do for a living. You will be able to gain some knowledge and make some valuable connections. As far as the learning about your industry goes, you can even attend tradeshows and conferences. This is also a great opportunity to network and meet new people.
