How are you relevant to the market?

Question

I’m trying to keep myself in line with the market by staying up to date with my knowledge and skills and I’m looking for some motivation! No matter what the industry, I’d love to know how other FGB’ers are keeping themselves relevant within their own careers.

Read, listen, and write! I love podcasts and Audible and have absorbed a lot of great information through these. I also follow several leaders in this space on LinkedIn, Twitter, and even Instagram. One thing I've challenged myself with is actually trying to 'interact' with my industry... posting my own replies to their posts, asking questions to the poster or to others, and even writing my own articles. It doesn't just help you stay up to date, it helps you contribute back and engage in the dialogue!

Great post and topic! I'm learning microservices and cloud computing as that is the future. Additionally, remote work and globalization and its impact on work  - along with automation and artificial intelligence.

Your relevance is also determined by your ability to recognize and articulate your transferable skills. I like using a whiteboard mind map to really see connections between roles I’ve had and what jobs are out there at any given time.
