See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

These tech skills are no longer in demand. Show recruiters that you can adapt and learn.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Thanks to +AaronBradley for posting this on Google+. One thing I have learned over the past ten years or so is that technology moves so fast that you need to keep up. Before I was a stay-at-home mom, I was a content project manager. When I decided to go back to work several years later, I couldn’t find a project management job to save my life. I had to take a few steps backwards into web publishing, which brought me back forward, but into a different direction. I also went back to school because I knew there would be things that I would need to either refresh in my mind or learn. Keep up your continuing education! This article is proof!
