5 Online Courses to Take To Boost Your Resume Experience and Credentials (Internqueen.com Guest Blog

Waking up late, staying in pajamas all day, and deviating from our normal schedules. That’s the new normal for many who are now working or schooling from home. For myself, college has been cut short this semester and I am left to complete work on my own schedule. During this pandemic, it is 100% okay to take the time you need to process, grieve the new reality of life, and adjust to a new environment. I have done my fair share of those things, but I have also found myself looking for ways to fill my time with productive endeavors!

There are so many ways to make use of the newfound free time that will not only keep you busy but that further your resume and career! No matter what major/occupation you are, there are always tools (many of them free) that you can utilize to ramp up your experience and credentials. The following are ideas of tools I have been taking advantage of during quarantine.
