Why Studying Is The Best Thing You Can Do While Unemployed

Person Studying at Laptop

Covid-19 increased unemployment in many countries. The United States suffered from business closures, wage cuts, and massive layoffs due to the pandemic's economic effects. If you lost your job during the virus, you should know that there are still many alternatives to generate income and access professional training. In this article, you will learn why it is essential to study during unemployment and how this knowledge will help you earn more money and have stability.

A Bootcamp May Be the Solution

Even though universities closed during the virus, many educational companies took advantage of this opportunity to prepare new students. Bootcamps were the main winners in this context. These schools have physical locations, but they also allow their students to attend classes online and earn a degree.

If you are unemployed, it is time to use your savings for a smart investment: education. How effective is studying in a bootcamp? Much more than you think! Check out the main advantages of these courses:

You can expand your knowledge to improve your skills or start from scratch

Bootcamps are a great idea for the unemployed. If you were in a technology company and were laid off, you can now reinforce all your knowledge and add new skills to your resume. If you want to learn, you can access beginner courses in different careers, including data science, software engineering, coding, cybersecurity, and much more.

You can start a free course and pay for it when you get a job

If you are looking for a smart way to invest your savings, you may like the bootcamp option. An average course costs between $7,000-$13,000. But you should also know the free option, with which you can take the full course and pay for it when you get a job.

You can work in a large company in the United States

Despite the coronavirus, many tech companies continue to hire employees. This is your chance to start a bootcamp and land the job of your dreams. General Assembly, one of the best bootcamps in the country according to Career Karma, has hiring partners companies such as Condé Nast, Visa, Google, L'Oreal, and Microsoft.

Learning A New Language

The pandemic was the opportunity for many unemployed people to start learning a new language. This knowledge is more important than you think and can be decisive if you are looking for a new job. Pay attention to the following advantages of knowing another language:

Increase your chances of getting a job

According to CNN, approximately 50 million Americans speak Spanish: this is 13 percent of the population. This figure is small, considering that in Germany almost 50 percent of the population can speak English. This means that there are people capable of working in bilingual jobs or jobs assigned to a specific language in the United States. Speaking a second language doubles your chances of getting a job, not only in physical companies but in freelance contracts.

Improve your professional level

If your resume shows that you speak two or more languages, then your professional image improves considerably. Learning a new language is a long process, but it allows you better communication with other people, more comfort, more chances of finding work, and new ways of understanding cultures. If you are unemployed and need to optimize your professional experience, a new language will be a perfect idea.

Take an Online Course to Learn Something New

While bootcamps and language courses help you directly with your job performance, it is not a bad idea to learn about thematic classes. According to The Conversation, online courses received massive numbers of students during Covid-19. This website published that the Coursera platform increased 640 percent this March compared to March 2019. Do you think it is a bad idea to take a course?

This new knowledge also allows you to discover new areas of your life, learn exciting skills, and generate money. One of the advantages of the Internet is that it offers many offers for all tastes: you can learn to cook, repair your PC, design with Adobe Illustrator, create clean energy, and much more!

Conclusion

Being out of work is a challenging experience. We know it perfectly. Therefore, you must take these tips into account. Investing in education can be essential in your future since this knowledge will serve you for new jobs or ventures. Use the tools you have and overcome any obstacle—at the end of the day, you will be grateful.

Trying Out Some New Web Development Software

BuzzooleIt's been awhile since I've really used some web development software. With much of my time spent developing and supporting clients using WordPress, the need to have a 3rd party web development tool hasn't been a pressing need for me. When I do need some development software I've usually relied on on old version of Macromedia Dreamweaver. You caught that right, I said Macromedia. It's been years since Adobe purchased Macromedia and took over their products and I never really wanted to make the transition to Adobe so I kept using my old software, which continued to work just fine for what I needed. Even now that I'm paying for the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, I still find myself jumping back to my familiar territory with Dreamweaver 8.

WebsiteX5 Professional PackageBut now I've had the opportunity to try out a new piece of software called WebsiteX5 Professional (you can download a free fully-operational demo version of the product) through a Buzzoole campaign I'm participating.

The product is very reminiscent to me of the old Dreamweaver tools. Things are layed out differently, but from my perspective, it makes sense so that made it easy-to-use for me jumping back into the saddle a bit. One of the other features of Dreamweaver that I liked and that's available in WebsiteX5 is the ability to customize the layout and features to work how you want them to work.

You can jump right into developing the website using the drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editor. If you want to dig into the code itself and use some custom code you can do that as well with your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Whether your wanting to publish a simple site for you to share information with friends and family, or a fully functional database driven e-commerce site, WebsiteX5 has the tools included to accomplish that task.

Don't think you've got to get started with a blank slate either, although you can as an option, WebsiteX5 includes 100's of pre-designed templates as well as access to 400,000 royalty free images to include in your design as well. The software even includes a fairly powerful image editing program with plenty of custom masks and edits available to you.

Another nice feature that's very important these days is building websites that are mobile friendly and responsive. WebsiteX5 helps you manage this task by handling lots of the coding required and help you see how the layout is going to change visually as you develop.

Here's a video you can watch to see many of the functions in action and just how easy it is to get started developing a great website with WebsiteX5.

Here's a quick summary of the features:

  • Easy to use
  • 400,000 royalty-free images included
  • Highly customizable
  • Professional tools (email form, reserved area, integration with db, e-commerce, etc)
  • Add your custom html/css/js code
  • Responsive websites
  • 12 months of included web-hosting
  • Dedicated language support
