Hello Fishes,

This maybe very specific to IT folks, but can be a question in general for all folks around here.

How do you guys upskill yourselves and stay updated with whats cutting edge in market given your firm is not working on the latest stuff, which is very highly likely scenario.

I agree, there are courses, certification and stuff to show off your new shiny skillsets on resume, but how do you manage to stay relevant to it post course/certificate completion?

Do not stay for long where there is nothing new to learn. Move out quickly or you will never be able to move out.

I know that was not the question but I hope that's helpful.

I didn't said there is nothing new to learn, but you cannot expect your current firm to be always working on the latest and greatest.

It may work on a subset of them, but not all.
So switching is not a permanent fix, cause this issue will crop up at some point in every firm, so jumping won't be a wise thing, Right?

Once you learn any new technology, just try to read the blogs or forums where they discuss about issues or updates. This will atleast give you an idea about real time issues

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
