Do you recall how vital it was to know how to use a typewriter and how to use a shorthand machine? However, they are no longer in existence. We used to have Cassette and CD stores on every corner, but that is no longer the case. Mainframes used to produce a lot of employment, but not so much now. So, epidemic or not, things are happening all around us... change. And we must evolve along with them.
So, whether COVID-19 has reduced your salary or you want to learn new skills to help pay the bills... Today, we'll learn how to make the most of your spare time to stay ahead of the pack. Because we'll be learning... four types of skills: technical, communication, financial, and creative skills that you need to know how to protect your future.
We'll also discuss how to acquire these abilities. We'll also study the Bonus Tip, so you know exactly what it takes to change over time! So, these are the four sorts of talents you should begin building right now to prepare for the future.
1) Technical Skills: The technical skills you'll need to learn may vary depending on your current job or the one you wish to switch to. If you want to be a writer, for example, write more! You may get some practice by answering questions on Quora, creating a Wikipedia page, or writing articles for your own site. You may write movie reviews if you enjoy watching movies. Then you may add all of these links to your CV and make your portfolio look better. If you're a graphic designer, you should also understand... Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator are two options. And to improve at it. Create posters and distribute them on social media. Because establishing a commitment to publish regularly will instill in you the discipline to practice every day.
Learn Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, or even start with Filmore if you want to be a video editor. Learn a new technology if you're a software developer... Whether it's blockchain, cloud computing, or learning a language you've always wanted to learn, there's something for everyone. DART, Python, and JavaScript are just a few examples.
Listen. Three or four years of college graduation is no longer sufficient. You must maintain your technical abilities up to date. Looking at your CV is now the simplest approach to figure out what skills you need to master. I understand. Resumes are frightening and cause us anxiety. But take a look at it... and you'll see why. What areas aren't filled? What credentials are you missing? What talents would you wish to add to that list? And obtain those... since those talents will help you stand out from the throng while also increasing your employability. I'd want for you to know what technical skill you'll be learning next.
2) Abilities you should work on: Communication abilities and you should work on two things to improve your communication abilities: a) English language fluency and b) presentation skills.
The best method to enhance our fluency is to utilize it as much as possible. As a result, read English literature and watch English films. There is no such thing as a single book or film that will teach you English in a single day. It's a mix of doing a variety of activities and speaking English daily. Several articles and videos are available that discuss what books to read to enhance your English. Please have a look at it. After you've mastered fluency, you'll need to work on your presentation skills. We may be native speakers of a language, but presenting skills are all about using that language and expressing ourselves properly, whether at a team meeting, on stage, or just asking someone out on a date!
And here are three things you can do to improve your presenting skills: 1) Stand in front of a mirror and practice speaking English to yourself. If you're at a loss for what to say, recite lines from your favorite English television series.
Second, take a chapter from your favorite book and read it aloud, preferably in front of a friend or family member.
Third, and this approach, I promise, works like a charm... join a public speaking group, such as Toastmasters. Clubs like this allow you to speak in front of an audience, and some even hold online meetings so you can join in from your home and talk, regardless of how excellent or awful your sentence forming abilities are. And the other members of the club will support you since that is exactly why they are there. It is, as I previously stated, a process. So, begin by doing one item at a time. Would you please tell me what you plan to do to enhance your communication skills?
Financial Skills During this epidemic, one thing we've all learned is that money is incredibly essential. On the one hand, our parents taught us that money is the source of all evil and that saving and investing should be avoided at all costs. However, on the other hand... The fact that ‘Fundamental Analysis' and ‘Stock Market' films are included in our recommended area on YouTube is intimidating. So, let's take a step back and begin from the beginning. Here are two little measures you may take right now to improve your financial situation.
Check out this video titled "How I Bought a House Before I Turned 25," which explains where you may invest your money and how much you can expect to earn from each choice. 3)Learn about some of the most basic investing alternatives available: FDs, RDs, Mutual Funds, and Insurances, for example. The second stage is to understand how to use the stock market to build long-term wealth. This is where your money goes to work for you and earns you additional money. So, first, have a look at these two videos: Stock Market for Beginners and Trading Tutorial. These two videos are intended for novices. What is the Stock Exchange? How does it generate revenue? What exactly is trading? How can I avoid losing money when trading? ...
All three of these videos are available on YouTube. I understand that understanding finance appears to be a lot of effort! However, pay close attention because no one will ever tell you this.
Money does not just make you wealthy; it also allows you to be financially self-sufficient. And you can only make your own life decisions after you are financially independent... like which college to attend and where to live without having to rely on your parents, siblings, or anybody else for financial support. I understand that ‘finance' is a difficult subject in and of itself. However, breaking things down into manageable chores is a good idea. Simply watching a video first... will help you get closer to your financial objectives. So, begin to pay attention.
4)Creative Skills: I believe you've learned by now, Jivan Sangharsh Hai, that life is a battle! I'll admit that I'm exaggerating. However, as adults, we have a lot of responsibilities. Continue to study new skills, apply for jobs, keep your current job, respond to emails, pay EMIs, file taxes, network with people, invest money, pay insurance, cook every day, keep the house clean, wash clothes... and all of this while not having children. You must do this daily and cannot allow any of it to burn you out. So, learn at least one creative talent that allows you to switch off for a few minutes and forget about your to-do list. It's similar to how you would reset your phone if it became too hot.
Gardening, sketching a mandala, making an origami painting, playing a musical instrument, or simply. You can practice these abilities for 15 minutes every day or 2-3 times a week. So, ponder for a moment and tell me what your creative skill will be. As an example, ... But please don't write... my Creative Skill will be scrolling around Instagram on my phone. Because social media causes worry rather than relaxation.
So, during your pause routine, put your phone aside. All of the abilities I'm going to describe today will add up and come together nicely, especially when we talk about "How to Make Money from Home."
We all want to make some additional money, figure out how to generate money doing what we enjoy, or support our parents by having a second source of income.
What is really important. Is the exertion, So begin writing since it improves your sentence construction abilities and your creativity. Allow me to tell you a tale. In 2017, I joined a public speaking club, and after work hours, I worked diligently to compose hundreds of scripts and enhance my presentation abilities. Years later, as a result of this... I began writing and discovered that I am confident in what I do and what I believe in conveying on the paper.
The point is this: We never request free food or clothing. Why, therefore, do we beg for free books to read and free seminars to attend? When we understand that these are the things that will help us to grow.
So, here's today's Bonus Tip... ‘Invest in yourself.' Join groups, purchase books, and enroll in online courses. Because why would any firm invest in you by providing you a job if you can't invest enough time and money in your own development? And if you're looking for work, ... Then go to a new website or subscribe to YouTube channels to discover how to prepare for an interview. Also, watch the videos to learn how to respond to the most common behavioral interview questions. Tell me about yourself, your talents and shortcomings, etc. What makes you so special that we should recruit you? What is a resume, how to write one, and more?
