CHAPTER 5

Develop the Skills You Need

Apprenticing, volunteering, and job shadowing are all great ways to immerse yourself as you investigate new ways to advance or change your career. But there’s another crucial strategy: leveraging your current job to cultivate the skills you need for the future. In some cases, that means expanding the contours of your current job so that it encompasses new challenges, and in others, it’s about providing a secure base that enables you to explore new outposts safely. In this chapter, you’ll learn about:

  • Ensuring your job grows with you
  • Strategic moonlighting
  • When to go back to school
  • When not to go back to school
  • Targeted strategies to build your skills
