Find out what skills
you are lacking. 
Look for similar job vacancies 
on any employment website.

a higher salary than what you 
currently receive. Find out

candidates.
Make
a reading list. 
Read more! Reading is also 
an investment because 
it stimulates your mind. Look

a habit of reading every day. 
It doesn’t matter whether 
it’s 5 minutes or 30, the key 
is finding consistency.
Create
a study plan. 
Identify the skills that you 
would like to work on or those 
needed to qualify for a better 
position. Estimate how 
much time per day you need 
to devote to studying to master 
these skills quickly and 
completely.
