Today is Friday and the weekend is upon us. Here at careerevolve.com we often get questions from people looking for career advice that does not take a long time, is affordable and that they can follow while they resume their already hectic schedule with either school, family or their current employment.
Well here is your Friday rundown on tips that you can start today to get that career you desire.
1. Do you like free training on your schedule?
Massive Online Open Courses or moocs for short are continuously being provided by top tier universities from around the world such as Yale, Stanford, University of Toronto and countless others. Browse free online courses by subject and school here at careerevolve.com and you should find a subject in your field of interest to further your career. New sessions and courses are added each month so be sure to check the course listings frequently.
2. Learn from other people's problems.
If you are in IT then we highly recommend that you search through stackoverflow.com for questions and answers that other people have submitted to solve challenges in their projects. You can turn stackoverflow into your personal knowledge centre. Sometimes your actual answer will come from a submission that wasn't accepted as the final answer but it solves your specific problem. This is a great way to learn and even anticipate problems that may occur making you look like a genius worthy of promoting.
3. If it's a problem then there is likely someone selling a fix.
We know you're brilliant but a lot of the problems that we face today are already impacting others and someone had proposed a solution. If you interested in a field such as a pre-sales consultant wanting to work remotely or even a motivational speaker wanting to gain clients then people are already doing this times a billion. You can find someone or a company that is already doing the role that you want and check if they offer an email series to try and get you to buy their products or a webinar explaining their goods. Analyze their approach and make note of what is common amongst everyone you are reviewing and then consider making your own package to give your personal career effort a push forward.
It's Friday so get started today and see what you can change by next week.
Good luck and if you have any career questions or moocs that you would like to promote then contact us at careerevolve.com or on twitter at @careerevolved.
Have a great weekend!
