Are YOU relevant?

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about relevancy in design, and prioritizing features ect. Today I am asking the question, are you relevant? Are you keeping yourself up to date on current trends/products/softwares/skills ect. in your industry? And even more, do you know which skills will take you where you want to go?

To remain relevant you must take a small timeout regularly to do a mini-evaluation of what you are doing, where you are going, and what you need to get there. But more than that, doing a major evaluation, say, once every six months, is also a good idea. While you are at it, dust off your resume, and check it for relevancy and accuracy.

Just something to think about….
