Tuesday Tip-Boost your hard skills set

I have had a few people ask about enhancing their skill set or obtaining certifications. If you are not ready to be a college student full-time or if your employer doesn't pay for certification training, I have found some ways that may help you increase your hard skills set. These resources that I researched, can fit into your schedule whether working at home, transitioning back into the workforce, or just wanting to enhance your skills. Actively seeking out different ways and participating in these, displays your intent to learn and time management as well as focus on your strengths. Definitely a conversation piece during a job interview. 😉       Free online courses for certifications  https://digitaldefynd.com/best-free-certification-course-training-online/       Skillshare by Monster. some are free or low cost about .99 cents.  https://www.skillshare.com/browse       Take a typing test.

If you are a college student or in a trade school, request your transcripts. I suggest either after you complete a semester/quarter, or training hours. Too many  times has it been seen where jobs are offered that either required degrees, college credits, or hours earned in trade, that they can't get through the onboarding process because that information can't be confirmed (Because it is required for the position). The easiest way to verify if you are having issues is to show your transcripts  👌 Same for when you finish. If the school does not automatically send your transcripts when you graduate, request them (Unofficial and official transcripts). Keep stored them in a place you will remember  🤔 Plus good way to track your progress  😉 👍  Also seen where people didn't get their degree/diploma when they finished school (Especially if you owed them). If the school didn't automatically send it to you, request it during the final week ahead of time or ask the
