5 Effective Steps to Add Skill to Your Resume

How to create an action plan for your next technology skill for a software engineer and update your resume?

The agile way of working and explosion of the open-source world has made organizations flexible and thus able to embrace the latest technology to get ahead of the competition.

As great as that sounds, it puts a lot of pressure on software engineers to remain relevant in the job market. Learning a new technology has become the survival strategy to remain relevant as a software engineer. Gone were the days when you can remain a mainframe developer for 30 years and still be relevant.

The other issue is the job descriptions that you get. Job descriptions in the technology world require you to have experience in about 10–20 technologies. It can leave you overwhelmed with the dread that you can never get a new job unless you learn everything again. You are afraid you will be stuck in your current job forever.

You can follow the steps below to stay relevant without getting overwhelmed. Applying the below steps when fear grips about learning many things will give you clear steps and a plan to achieve the desired skill set. The key steps are:

I have a friend who is ambitious and wants to improve his value to the organization he works with. He has done many certifications, and he has transitioned to tougher challenges by learning on his own. He had done Azure certification a while back and he has plans to get the next certification. But his organization is big on AWS and gave him a free voucher to get certified in AWS. It seems the organization has done a favor for him. He has taken it onto himself and he is planning to do both AWS and Azure certification. But how much of this certification aligns with his goals is a question he needs to answer before doing them. The other question is, will the new AWS certification help him with his job?
