Brush Up Your Skills
- Research What's In Demand. Your first stop should be the boards and company websites that post the jobs you're interested in.
- Beef Up Your Resume. Don't neglect the experience you already bring to the table. Soft skills you may have learned (management skills, organizational skills, etc) may be a huge benefit, so don't write them off completely.
- Go Back to School to pick up those new languages, skills, and techniques required to be competitive in your chosen field.
- Build Your Network. Get acquainted not just with the people you want to emulate, but other people who are doing what you do now.
