The internet has long been one of the most helpful tools to grow your career. It’s great for discovering new opportunities, learning new skills, and even networking to meet new people in the industry. However, many people still don’t fully utilise the internet when it comes to growing their career, which is why we’ve put together this helpful post to show you just how beneficial the internet can be when it comes to growing your career.

Online training to help you learn new skills
Online learning has made it possible for us to quickly switch to a new career path or acquire new skills to position ourselves for a promotion. Learning with the internet is incredibly convenient since you can do it anywhere as long as you have a computer and internet access. In addition, online learning is something you can do at your own pace since you don’t attend classes like a traditional school. This can be an extremely convenient alternative to regular academic classes and will enable you to study for a career change or pick up new skills even while you work your regular job.

If you’re thinking about online training to help you pick up new skills to embark on a different career path, then services like Evercoach are a great place to start. Online learning can be extremely specific with what it teaches, but there are also some services that offer a wide variety of general disciplines too. Whatever you choose, it’s a good idea to see what courses are on offer and if there are any qualifications or certifications to earn at the end of it.

Online coding and programming is becoming one of the fastest growing skills you can learn and this can open many different opportunities across all industries.  Thanks to various sponsors and funding, Bay Valley Tech offers a free coding boot camp with other low cost learning options.

​
Learning about different careers
A great way to use the internet is to actually learn about different kinds of careers that are available to you. Some people have a fairly limited understanding of what career choices they have available to them with a certain skill set, but the internet can show you that there are loads of unique opportunities available out there if you’re willing to look around.

It can really show you that there are unique ways to apply your skills and use your experience to follow a different career path, and it can help you chase your passions and figure out ways to make a living doing what you love.  There are so many different career options out there whether you’re interested in pilot training or a career in law. It can be a good idea to meet with a career consultant to discuss your options. A career consultant can offer support in many different areas, such as:
  • Helping you to determine your career options
  • Supporting with resumes and cover letters
  • Personality tests to determine the most suitable careers​
    ​
Using the power of networking to find new opportunities
Networking is one of the most useful ways to help you find new opportunities. Whether you have certain career goals in mind or if you’re looking for different paths to embark on, networking can be one of the best ways to seek out different job placements and learn about unique roles that you qualify for.

Networking is essentially like using social media, but instead of using Twitter and Facebook, you’re more likely going to use LinkedIn or other professional platforms. They’re designed for professional use and they come with unique tools that allow you to list your experience and also the qualifications you have, making it easier to help advertise yourself as a suitable candidate.
