Lifelong Learning Cycle or the Circle of Work Life!
I was recently reminded by a former colleague why I resigned as a trainee HR Consultant. I felt that I was inadequately equipped for the job without corporate experience. As a fresh graduate, I wanted more and not merely to learn from second-hand experience. Indeed, I did with the opportunities to take on multiple roles from hr consultancy to sales to marketing to external relations to project management to supply chain management to general management to distributor management.
It has been an amazing 30+ year work journey and I have had the privilege to work with domain experts of different nationalities & backgrounds armed with a wealth of knowledge & experience. Now, as part of a Productivity Solutions-Job Redesign Project Team, I am back at HR Management Consultancy.
The COVD-19 pandemic and digital transformation have resulted in the reinvention of the HR role and many more. New opportunities and jobs have been created. To stay relevant and future forward we need to continuously travel the Lifelong Learning Cycle. No one can remain a domain expert without constant up-skilling and multi-skilling. For new job seekers, it is not merely giving it a shot, but you need to show conviction to succeed. Remember to always put your best foot out! Who knows, what adventures and opportunities you will encounter.
