Keep learning
1.
When applying for a position, consider the skills you lack and see if you can learn it informally or formally. I enjoy watching free webinars, tutorials and presentations to continue my learning for career success. I also list these courses under professional development on my résumé. I find webinars in my LinkedIn groups, social media sites of relevant interest, Slideshare, Hubspot,
Citrix Online, Webex, GoToMeeting, etc.
