How can you be resilient in an uncertain year? We’re not sure where the New Year will take us, so it’s best to be prepared. How can you be more competitive when looking for a new job? Here are some skills you should master to be the best candidate and find your next opportunity.
Adaptability
The new year is likely to come with a lot of uncertainty. That means being adaptable to what’s necessary will put you in a great position to find an opportunity. Adaptability comes in many forms, including a willingness to learn new technology, adapt to new management styles, and work in or out of the office. This will be a great benefit when you start applying to open positions.
Resiliency
While the unemployment rate is still relatively low, the recent tech layoffs have led to speculation about the job market in the coming year. Being resilient in the face of challenges will always help you. Even within a position, the ability to bounce back when something doesn’t go your way will always put you in a better position moving forward.
Financial
It’s always recommended that you create your reserves during times of uncertainty. Financial understanding won’t just help you stay on track with your spending and budgeting but can also help you on the job. Using your economic sense to choose the right opportunities, save portions of your paycheck, and work with your employer in various ways can put you in a good position regardless of what comes next.
Tech Skills
Comfort with technology will be vital as we move into the New Year. Many companies are embracing new technological advancements, and understanding how tech works will set you apart from your competition. Whether you want a role in technology or not, familiarity with different platforms will come into play in any industry.
