Ashley Fuller: 7 Skills for a Career of the New TypeIt is not so difficult to get a good job in a good company as to develop there and become an influential figure in a long-term perspective, the one who is granted not only the salary but also options and other privileges like a premium-class office car.

It was clear before, how to grow up to such a level:

  • Work for one and the same company for a long time

  • Please the heads

  • Work long hours

  • Intrigue and raise own armies in corporate wars

  • Be able to make reports correctly (it was probably the most important skill)

The world is slowly changing. Even if it seems darker and darker outside (I am talking both about the weather and the atmosphere in the world), career growth opportunities have improved for the last 20 years.

Skills necessary for a modern career

  • What do you need to build a career

    So, the gist of the article is the following: if you want to make a career and money you should:

    • Constantly learn

    • Not get attached to the company

    • Be able to make friends at work easily and find necessary people (establish a developed network).

    • Loyal but not faithful

    • Career inclined but not very charismatic

    • Famous in narrow professional circles but not boosted over the whole Facebook and various ratings

    • Tech savvy but without expensive diplomas
