How to Develop Skills Through Work
A job can be more than a source of experience. It can become a development environment.
Identify target skills
Identify one or two skills that would increase your effectiveness.
Look for opportunities
Take ownership of a task; volunteer for a project; shadow someone more experienced; request feedback; document recurring problems; improve a process; present findings; mentor a colleague.
Do not wait for promotion
Many strong skills grow through small increases in responsibility.
Knowing your skills is useful. Understanding where those skills come from, which abilities may support them, and where they can take you gives you a much clearer picture.
