Upskilling can help you recession-proof your career, Pivot’s founder Arjun Prakash shares in a post. Drawing upon a recent audio event he conducted, he suggests that young professionals should build on approaches like skill stacking and barbell strategy. While the former can help you hone your core competencies and learn horizontal skills, the latter can help you develop unique skills, Prakash shares. In order to navigate uncertain economic conditions, it’s important to start early and pursue something you already know. Critical thinking and digital fluency are other skills Prakash highlights.
