Modern Career Skills

August 06, 2019 • written by

The world is changing.

And everything is becoming more and more difficult.

Many jobs are paying lower and lower.

But new opportunities are always opening up.

If you only have one skill and it’s not very valuable, you won’t be able to survive the modern job market.

Here are some examples of skills that I found valuable.

Some Background

I am self taught.

I didn’t get to complete college.

I learned from books and informal training sessions.

I experimented and practiced many different skills.

And combined the skills to build my dream life.

You can too.

If you are committed to changing your life.

It’s not that easy.

I made a lot of sacrifices to get to where I am today.

The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward.

English Communication Skills

The world is now connected.

And Filipinos are compatible with a lot of English speaking nations.

We can work with them and earn in their currency.

But you can only unlock this opportunity if you speak the language.

Good English will allow others to trust you.

It says you are dependable.

It says you are like them.

Speaking, reading, writing, listening and thinking in English are key skills.

Unlocking good English skills will increase your chances of getting hired in any job by 83%.

At the minimum, you should be able to be able to earn an additional five thousand to your salary, ten thousand if you’re really good and twenty thousand if you’re really good.

Computer skills

You may have a smartphone and just use that as a camera and use Facebook and watch YouTube videos.

But if you don’t know how to use a computer, you’re almost seen as an illeterate.

First of, call center work means you are talking on the phone with an American customer and you are doing things on the computer.

You don’t need to be an expert but being knowledgeable with computers is a very important life skill because most of the work these days is done with a computer.

Unlocking research skills will make you appear more knowledgeable and professional to the interviewers.

At the minimum, you should be able to be able to earn an additional five thousand to your salary, ten thousand if you’re really good and twenty thousand if you’re really good.

Research skills

The internet contains the information written by the smartest people in the world.

Almost everything that you want to know is availble by asking a question.

Even the most difficult problems can be solved on the internet by asking a question and five follow up questions.

Unlocking research skills will help you become more knowledgable in almost anything.

At the minimum, you should be able to be able to earn an additional five thousand to your salary, ten thousand if you’re really good and twenty thousand if you’re really good.

Sales Skills

Sales is simply understanding the intentions of the customers and offering a good solution.

If you have sales skills, you can get people to give you support and in a lot of cases, money.

Unlocking sales skills combined with English skills can give you a giant income boost.

At the minimum, you should be able to be able to earn an additional ten thousand to your salary, twenty thousand if you’re really good and forty thousand if you’re really, really good.

Customer service skills

Unlocking customer service skills will make you a more desirable employee and is extremely useful if you already have your own business.

Customer service skills will allow you to build a steady income and get long term customers for your business.

Customer service skills are excelent long term skills.
