Does this skill relate to my current job

In my career, it has always been easier to prepare for a certification that covers technology that I am working with. When I’m labbing eight hours a day on the job, it means less time labbing at home and more time reading and studying notecards. #LabEveryday

Part-time or Freelance Jobs

Usually having a part-time job, freelance job or internship involves many of the same responsibilities a full-time job does – just on a smaller scale. This is something that potential employers absolutely want to see as it gives them tangible proof of the experience you’ve gained. The example below does a great job of promoting experience earned via an internship and a freelance gig.

Taking on a side gig while you’re seeking a more permanent job situation not only shows that you are dedicated to your career, but it shows you take initiative as a go-getter.
