Tell us what you thought about this episode
Technology is one of the fastest changing industries in history. In the last decade we've seen new language, new standards, and new ways of working.
For those who work in the industry the result is that we can't just sit on the skills we've learned and expect to stay at the top of our game.
If you step out of the industry it won't take long before you're rusty.
Employers and recruiters are very aware of this and are always looking for people who are developing themselves.
To avoid the rust you must keep the machine oiled.
That career gap on your CV isn't harmful, but it will help if you spent some time upskilling yourself.
And if you're still in a job, seek out what skills you will need to solve tomorrows problems today.
So take charge of your own destiny! Make yourself more valuable to the market by adding necessary skills.
In this episode I talk to Chloe Piper about why Pivoting is not just for business, and the value a good recruiter brings to the table.
