Hi all

With the current climate the way it is and the majority of us staying at home, now could be good time to try and further your career progression.

Learning a new skill or furthering knowledge in a certain sector through online courses is a great option.

What have you or will you be doing to try and stand our from the crowd once everything is back to normal?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Why would I use the link you recently posted ?
    Id rather use a website I know for example the OU.
  • It would be online courses for me.
    Do 8 more months in a role if I can to achieve an anniversary year.  Really cannot believe I have not been to an interview for  almost 6 months!!
    Hope the line of a payrise at 3 months won't put anyone off! Lol! That might make a company run for the hills haha! I do need some new interview answers in being more current as doubt one will want to hear what happened 4 or 5 years ago, (esp now this homeworking is the seemingly new norm, lets hope it doesn't cause agoraphobia) my biggest fear is someone saying and how long has that been your go to answer. Perhaps daft I just remember a cringeworthy point on an interview show once.
    Managing to keep my maths learning problem under the radar, (flaked out of night college as soon as I got the first written workbook) only to run into new workmen that can't do maths either at work so realise it is quite somewhat of a problem in adults.
    Had my head turned once or twice but then jobs are those of immediate start/interview next day kind of sort and perhaps not the risk to take if not unemployed at the moment. And it is not like I can fit into my interview clothes anymore. And imagine you have to go to a face2face interview wearing a mask? so perhaps you can stand out from the crowd, or not for that!
