Dealing

You’re not alone. The industry shifts fast, and keeping up can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual one. But staying relevant doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s a simple, doable rhythm to follow (even with a full calendar): ✅ Quarterly: Scan open job listings—not just titles, but the skills and tools required. Use AI to spot patterns. ✅ Monthly: Talk to someone in a role you admire. Ask what they’re learning, noticing, and questioning. ✅ Ongoing: Skim global reports (like the WEF’s Future of Jobs) and follow a few sharp thinkers right here on LinkedIn. ✅ Repeat: Make this a habit, not a one-off. You’ll start to see the signals. Then, check in on your fit using the IKIGAI model: ? What you love ? What you’re good at ? What the world needs ? What you can be paid for From there? Close the gap with real upskilling. The best programs offer: ✔️ Hands-on practice ✔️ Critical thinking challenges ✔️ Confidence in what you can do (not just what you know) That’s why I often point folks to flexible, job-aligned platforms like Udacity—especially when time is tight and skill depth matters. You don’t need perfect predictions. Just a smart way to listen for what’s next. ? What’s one signal you’re seeing in your space right now? #CareerDevelopment #TechCareers #Leadership #Udacity

I’m Mitali, a former Cognizant employee and a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have experience in Salesforce, business analytics, and cloud technologies. I’m currently seeking new opportunities in business analysis, CRM, or related roles. I’d be so grateful for any leads, advice, or referrals to help me get my foot in the door. If anyone has recommendations or knows of companies hiring, please feel free to connect or message me. Thank you in advance for your support!

Quantity doesn’t beat quality. Sending out 100 generic resumes won’t open as many doors as 10 targeted, tailored applications. Focus on roles that match your skills, customize your resume, and write a thoughtful cover letter. It’s not a numbers game; it’s a strategy game.

I work as a recruiter for a relatively small employer (about 50 employees) The CEO asked me my opinion about not giving health, PTO, and holiday benefits to our hourly full-time employees in an effort to cut costs. She wants only salaried employees to have benefits. I gave her my take on this and am curious about yours (pros and cons) especially those in HR. Thanks.
