Building Your Skills

In order to improve, you have to be able to accurately assess where you are. How does the work you’re doing today compare with the work being completed by the rest of the folks in your field? There’s a ton of websites you can follow to see what’s new and exciting within your industry, and it’s important to regularly review them so you can appreciate the subtle changes taking place within your field.

Where do you go to keep current?
