In a computer age there is the need to have an advantage in order to ’survive’ in the job market. Here are some tips:
STAY CURRENT
You have to keep up with developments in technology. That doesn’t mean you have to read every technical magazine. Rather,concentrate on your profession and learn how computer technology is being used in it. Participate in interest groups on the internet. Maintain your computer competency.
DEVELOP PROFESSIONAL CONTACTS
Maintain contact with people in your field. It can keep you abreast not only of new information but also of new job possibilities.
DEVELOP SPECIALTIES
Develop specific as well as general skills. Master a trade or two within your profession. Take classes if possible, to keep up with developments in your field.
BE PREPARED FOR ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
Be alert for new trends within your organisation- about future recruitment, layoffs, automation mergers with other companies and the like.
LOOK FOR INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Look for ways to make your job more efficient. Discuss your ideas with interested people.
