Where Does It Go From Here? An Examination of Professional Opportunities in Everyday Life
The speaker believed that, as writers faced with job demands, we often develop tunnel vision and “tunnel skills” that enable us to effectively perform our day-to-day job responsibilities. However effective that approach is, he felt that it does not necessarily encourage us to develop skills above and beyond those immediately applicable to our job. Yet in today’s volatile job market, he pointed out that it’s essential that we develop a palette of “extra-job” or “non-job related” skills to make sure we not only retain value in the general marketplace, but provide added value as employees.
