From AOL and Yahoo Finance:
Rachel Esterline Perkins, founder of Venturesome, believes it’s important to get valuable insight on how to improve your skills to be more competitive in the job arena. She recommends reaching out to a mentor or two to share your current resume and ask these three simple questions:
- Where am I lacking in skill or knowledge that I can focus on developing this year?
- If you were hiring, what areas of my resume, work history, skills, etc. might cause you to be concerned or reject me as a candidate?
- What areas of my skills and experience most stand out to you as my strengths?
