Networking is always an intelligent move to know what is going on in our own industry and how people are thinking, which ideas are being accepted and rejected, what kind of technology is being integrated with one’s own field. One must know or at least try to learn how the industry is taking a big shift.
Workshops, events, or seminars information can be known through the group of like-minded people via social media, offline network, teachers & professors, mentors, or an organization and community.
4. Continuous Upgradation of Your Skills and Knowledge
Most of the employers prefer updating the skills of their current employers rather than to hire new ones. This includes not only industry knowledge but also other areas like learning new tools introduced in the company, finding ways on how to help your colleagues and other people around you, ultimately you are human and not a machine and getting along with people on different views is important. Communication skills helps in presenting messages/thoughts/ideas with clarity in front of your boss, team mates, sponsors etc. Avoid being stagnant as it can lead you to the replacement. There will always be another person in the room who is willing to learn more.
