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.

These are key essentials I consult every person I work with. I was once a manager and a recruiter. I still work in Human Resources with the Talent Acquisition team. I utilize my resources and skills to help people (Sometimes to help the recruiter and managers). 1.

It can be frustrating job searching, interviewing and not getting hired. Even filling out hundreds of applications and not getting call backs can test your patience. Trust me I have been there.
