Never stop skilling

 Never stop skilling

In a skills-first hiring landscape, McCaskill recommends that jobseekers stay competitive by continuously honing their skills. “Whether you’re looking to grow in your current role or industry, or build your expertise to get started in a new role, keeping your skills sharp is very important,” he says. “A great way to stay fresh and competitive is by taking a few LinkedIn Learning courses aligned to the most in-demand skills.”

Today’s workplace is ever-evolving, which means there’s never going to be a time where we should stop learning and developing skills. No matter how senior or junior we are, none of us ever fully “arrive” because there is always more to learn. 

It’s up to us to leverage every experience—part-time or otherwise—to capitalize on what it can teach us for the next opportunity.
