In a previous blog, I discussed the importance of being a lifelong learner—“the provision or use of both formal and informal learning opportunities throughout people’s lives to foster the continuous development and improvement of the knowledge and skills needed for employment and personal fulfillment” (Jessica Balsley, 2017).
As I mentioned, there are countless resources available for enhancing your skills and discovering new interests. These opportunities can open both familiar and new doors, sparking fresh goals along the way.
I’m excited to share that I recently received a job offer for a position I had aspired to. My desire for continuous learning was recognized and valued. Patience and confidence played a crucial role during the taxing search, application, and interview process. But persistence, fortitude, and faith proved rewarding. Plus, adding new certifications to my resume, CV, and LinkedIn not only highlighted my ambition but also inspired me every day as I work in my home office.
