Here's how you can stay competitive in the job market with continuing education.

Continuing education is an integral part of growth and development in a rapidly expanding job market and with the advent of technology. Don't just upskill because a course is popular, but do a recce of the job market as to what is relevant. There are several platforms and universities these days that offer the world, but do read the fine print to see whether it is the right one for you. Network with a purpose and do a market pulse check to see what's happening from time to time. Apply what you learn at the workplace. One can create opportunities for themselves and apply their learning. For example is there a process improvement at the workplace and can you champion the change? Soft skills are another area of continuous improvement.

Entendo que mais importante do que nos mantermos aprimorados tecnicamente naquilo que atuamos (no meu caso, como advogada, em rela??o às normas e entendimento jurisprudencial), é desenvolvermos outras habilidades que s?o complementares a qualquer atua??o profissional, tais como oratória, técnicas de negocia??o e vendas, comunica??o, entre outras, n?o só por conta do CV (como apontado no texto), mas principalmente para si mesmo.

1. Identify Skills Gaps: Regularly assess your skills against industry demands to identify areas where further education is needed. 2. Seek Relevant Courses: Enroll in courses or certifications that enhance your knowledge and skills in your field or desired career path. 3. Attend Workshops and Seminars: Participate in industry events to stay updated on emerging trends and expand your professional network. 4. Earn Advanced Degrees: Consider pursuing advanced degrees or specialized certifications to deepen your expertise and stand out to employers. 5. Apply New Knowledge: Apply what you learn in continuing education directly to your work, demonstrating practical relevance and value to potential employers.

Quando participamos de outros tipos de cursos e workshops (na nossa área ou de desenvolvimento pessoal), temos a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas de outros ramos que podem contribuir com nossa jornada e nosso desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional em diversas formas. Se o curso for de negocia??o, abre a possibilidade de você conhecer novos estilos e técnicas que podem ser valiosas para sua atua??o profissional.

Continuing education provides valuable networking opportunities alongside knowledge. Participating in these programs connects you with like-minded professionals, enriching your experience as a negotiator. You can exchange insights, learn various negotiation techniques, and potentially find mentors to guide your career. This expanded network opens doors to new opportunities and perspectives that traditional job searches may not offer.

La lógica y los fundamentos de la negociación se basan en la psicología humana y por tanto cambian muy poco a poco. Por ello en general siempre recomiendo formarse con los mejores libros del mercado aunque no sean los más nuevos (e.g. "Obtenga el Sí", "Influence" o "Cómo ganar amigos e influir sobre las personas") siguen siendo lo mejor que puedes leer. Sin embargo hay partes del proceso de venta y negociación que sí se pueden apalancar en la tecnología. Por ejemplo si estás preparando un guión de prospección o un pliego de negociación, no dudes en apalancarte en Chat GPT. Te ahorrará horas de trabajo.

Toda nossa bagagem pessoal e profissional auxilia em mesas de negocia??o e pode abrange viagens, experiências anteriores, notícias, músicas, entre outras. Tudo isso auxilia na hora de você trazer seu ponto de vista sobre um aspecto e também de entender a hora de mudar a estratégia ou de interromper uma negocia??o.

Keeping up with industry trends is vital for professionals, especially in negotiation. Ongoing education helps you stay current with the latest techniques and market developments. This knowledge enables you to foresee changes, adjust strategies, and introduce new ideas in negotiations. Employers appreciate candidates who offer innovative solutions and have a strong grasp of the current business environment.

Gra?as à internet, o nosso acesso a conhecimento se expandiu e hoje temos a possibilidade de nos aperfei?oar de diversas maneiras a qualquer tempo e em qualquer lugar do mundo. Isso possibilita também que tenhamos acesso a materiais de estudo e cursos, inclusive de negocia??o, de todas as universidades do mundo, com certifica??o internacional.

Modern continuing education programs offer the advantage of self-paced, flexible learning. Online courses, particularly in negotiation skills, enable you to juggle work, life, and study efficiently. This adaptability allows you to pursue continuous learning without impacting your job responsibilities. It also demonstrates to potential employers your strong time management skills and proactive approach to self-improvement beyond conventional settings.
