One of my friends
had been out of paid work
since the crisis began.
This past week,
she was offered
a very nice job
in a different field.
How did she land
this job?
Since mid March,
she has been job hunting,
yes,
but she also allocated
an hour every day
to learning information
about this new field.
She did this
purely out of interest.
She built a base of knowledge,
then she reached out
to experts in the field
and learned directly from them.
She clearly obtained
enough knowledge
and connections
to land a job.
And she now has TWO
fields of expertise
– the original field
and this new one.
We all have time
to learn something new.
Take a one day workshop.
Watch a free 5 minute video
covering a snippet of a topic
on YouTube.
Read an additional blog post.
If my friend can learn
an entirely new field
in five months,
imagine what you could learn
over a lifetime.
