Keep learning!

Share

I saw a Tweet today from @CrudBasher – “Learning has to be lifelong. When lifespan was 45, K-12+4 made sense. Now lifespan is 80+. Have 2 keep learning.”
So true. Go back and get your Master’s degree. Take a class at your local community college. Learning keeps the mind engaged and vital throughout your life.

But also, realize that you don’t have to be in a classroom to “learn”. One of the best ways to to write down your “anti-resume”.

Your “anti-resume” is just that – the opposite of your resume. Check it out: your resume is a list of everything you’ve accomplished. What you studied in college, where you’ve worked, what skills you have.

Now, go write down the opposite:
-what didn’t you study in college?
-where haven’t you worked?
-what skills don’t you have?

No, don’t let this list get you down. The point is: what haven’t you done yet? These are ways you can keep learning…research that company you’ve always wanted to work at and try to land a new job. Learn their new culture and how they operate.

Get the point? Good. Now get to work on your anti-resume. And keep learning.
