Recruiter Tip: Make Upskilling a Habit - It Pays Off
No matter your industry or experience level, continuous upskilling is one of the smartest moves you can make for your career. Recruiters consistently notice candidates who show a pattern of learning and growth.
Keep Your Skills Fresh: The most in-demand skills today might be outdated tomorrow. Regularly updating your knowledge ensures you stay relevant and competitive.
Show Initiative: Employers value candidates who take ownership of their professional development. Even small steps-like online courses, webinars, or learning a new tool-can set you apart.
Future-Proof Your Career: Upskilling not only prepares you for new roles but also helps you adapt to changes within your current job or industry.
Tip: Set aside just 30 minutes a week for learning-whether it’s reading industry articles, taking a short course, or practicing a new skill. Consistency is key, and over time, these small efforts add up to big results.
Career Moves: How to Build Industry Connections (Even if You’re Shy)
Networking isn’t about collecting business cards-it’s about building real relationships.
Start with alumni or colleagues you already know.
Join LinkedIn groups for maritime or finance professionals.
Attend one industry webinar a month and connect with speakers or attendees.
When you reach out, mention a shared interest or recent post.
Takeaway: Focus on quality, not quantity. Five strong connections can open more doors than 50 random ones.
