Speaking to the Financial Times, Ian Pearson, a futurologist at consultancy firm Futurizon, recommended that people realise the lifespan of their knowledge is increasingly limited and they should constantly be looking to learn new skills.
Furthermore, he advised workers to dedicate some time developing knowledge in fields related to their job, in order to develop as broad a skills base as possible, and stressed the importance of being flexible in career choices.
Miranda Kennett, founder of First Class Coach, also told the newspaper that IT workers should constantly review their skills or expertise and highlight these to potential employers.
'Rewrite your CV every year. If you can’t find something new to add to it then look at yourself,' she added.
A recent survey by training provider Citrix GoToTraining discovered that 82 per cent of employees believe the opportunity to learn new skills is an essential element of their career development.
