Assess your skills and qualifications for improvement 

Assessing your current skills and qualifications is critical in identifying areas for improvement. By looking at your abilities, you can identify strengths to build up and weaknesses to overcome. This process can help you set goals and ultimately help you succeed. 

Start by making a list of your skills and qualifications. Consider your education, work experience, and any completed training or certifications. Assess where you excel and where you struggle. Do you need to address any gaps in your knowledge or abilities? What are the areas where you could use additional training or education? 

Once you have identified areas for improvement, create your action plan. The plan may include enrolling in courses or training programs to build new skills, seeking mentorship or coaching to develop existing skills, or pursuing additional education or certification. 

Remember that skill development is an ongoing process. It’s essential to assess your progress and adjust your goals as needed regularly. Proactively improving your skills and qualifications can open new opportunities and help you succeed personally and professionally.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
