Here are some rainy day activities to boost your career. Even spending just one day on these skills will make a huge difference, but you can continue to master them long-term for even better results.</span></p> <h2><b>Practice Social Media Marketing</b></h2> <p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExY2IzZDNjZTMwOGIyMmQ0YThiMWY0Mzc5ODdjM2IzMWU4ZDE5YTZiNSZjdD1n/3GSoFVODOkiPBFArlu/giphy.gif" alt="Rainy Day Activities" width="480" height="480" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make a social media page for something you’re passionate about, and try to build a following! This is a crash course in social media marketing, plus it gives you some experience with making content. You can experiment with different types of content to figure out what works best for the following you want to build. For example, some pages might blossom with meme posts alone, while others require more video. Some topics are better for short-form content, while others benefit more from longer blogs or videos. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spend some time figuring out what works for the topic of your choice!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll pick up some marketing know-how to help you better understand the companies you work for and how they make marketing decisions. It’ll also teach you to think like a manager. As someone running your page, you aren’t just creating posts to go out every day. You’re also connecting them with the big picture: your overall goals and wants for the page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is also a great way to start thinking about your social media platforms and how to use them to market yourself better to possible employers.</span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can ask yourself questions like:</span></i></p> <ul> <li><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is my social marketing the best version of me?</span></i></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can I prove my value to employers before they meet me?</span></i></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do I stand out from others in my field? How can I showcase my unique skills?</span></i></li> </ul> <h2><b>Learn HTML</b></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNDVkNzQ5NTgyMGE5ZGFlY2MwM2FiNzAxYTgxM2M0OTQ1ZTRkYTg5OCZjdD1n/fwbZnTftCXVocKzfxR/giphy.gif" width="500" height="354" title="" alt="" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter where you work, chances are your company has a website that needs to be updated every so often. Knowing HTML on top of all your other skills can be a significant asset! Often, skills like this take you from being a great candidate to an excellent one. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning HTML doesn’t need to be difficult, either. You can find tons of videos online, plus free PDF textbooks to teach you how to code. I recommend starting with </span><a href="https://www.learn-html.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn-HTML.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You can complete the basics and create a simple webpage in only an afternoon!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can check out your options here if you’d prefer to take a course or online program</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. HackerYou offers an Intro to Web Development course that could significantly help!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re in a creative field, it might be less obvious how coding can make you a better job candidate. That’s actually when your skills will stand out the most! You have an advantage if you have a marketable technical skill that most other candidates in your field don’t.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better yet, you can use learning HTML as an example of being self-taught and a quick learner. Teaching yourself how to code is impressive and a great topic to discuss in interviews.</span></p> <h2><b>Hone Your Creative Writing Skills</b></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy.gif" width="500" height="280" title="" alt="" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clear, effective and professional communication gives you an automatic edge in your job search because the first thing an employer sees is your resume and cover letter. Your writing skill is among the first ways employers judge your competence, creativity, and talent. You’ve got to make it count!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why focus on </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">creative</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> writing? Creative writing gets you thinking about words differently outside your regular daily communication. It helps expand your vocabulary </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">your imagination. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you learn creative writing, you’re learning to break complex ideas down into a digestible format—a story. You must spend time and effort thinking about the best framing, descriptions, and viewpoints to tell your desired story.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This will boost your Job application too! Job applications are about getting employers interested in your “story” as a possible employee. You need to convey your background and experiences in a way that catches their attention. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Practicing creative writing helps you develop those descriptive skills to tell your story in the best possible way. </span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you hone your writing skills? </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s all about practice! I recommend coming up with your story idea or using a prompt generator like </span><a href="https://www.plot-generator.org.uk/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this one</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You can even experiment with different mediums, like short stories, poems, vignettes, or flash fiction. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It might feel uncomfortable initially but don’t expect your writing to be perfect immediately. Instead, focus on experimenting with an idea that excites you. It’s all good practice!</span></p> <h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can become a better job candidate in many ways, but these highlights will give you tangible skills and a fun way to spend the afternoon! Remember, your rainy day is just a starting point. You can build upon these skills to become a true master. Either way, you just became a little bit more marketable. Go you!</span></p> <hr /> <h3>Explore more articles on our <a href="https://incubator.talentegg.ca/">Incubator</a> and visit <a href="https://talentegg.ca/">TalentEgg.ca</a> to get started on your job search!</h3>  <div class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed multiple-authors-target-the-content box-post-id-94739 box-instance-id-1 ppma_boxes_94739" data-post_id="94739" data-instance_id="1" data-additional_class="pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed.multiple-authors-target-the-content" data-original_class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper box-post-id-94739 box-instance-id-1"> <h2 class="widget-title box-header-title">Author</h2> <span class="ppma-layout-prefix"></span> <div class="ppma-author-category-wrap"> <span class="ppma-category-group ppma-category-group- category-index-0"> <ul class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-ul author-ul-0"> <li class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-li author_index_0 author_jennifermckay has-avatar"> <div class="pp-author-boxes-avatar"> <div class="avatar-image"> <img alt='Jennifer McKay' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2d47d8ded25a7d9b9d65d28822ba8bef?s=80&d=mm&r=pg' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2d47d8ded25a7d9b9d65d28822ba8bef?s=160&d=mm&r=pg 2x' class='avatar avatar-80 photo' height='80' width='80' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> </div> </div> <div class="pp-author-boxes-avatar-details"> <div class="pp-author-boxes-name multiple-authors-name"><a href="https://incubator.talentegg.ca/author/jennifermckay/" rel="author" title="Jennifer McKay" class="author url fn">Jennifer McKay</a></div> <p class="pp-author-boxes-description multiple-authors-description author-description-0"> Freelance writer.
