"In short, they want generalists. Just be enough. You don't need to be everything. You just need to be enough of many things."
"Modern work demands knowledge transfer - the ability to apply knowledge to new situations and domains."
"What makes you indispensable isn't in any one ability. It's a combination of transferable skills."
"Skill stacking can raise your market value by making you proficient (if not necessarily exceptional) in multiple areas."
Two paths to career success exist: becoming an expert in a specific field or mastering multiple skills. The latter, known as being a 'skills-powered' professional, is essential for adapting to the evolving job market. Research indicates that 44% of Americans wish to change careers, facing barriers mainly due to a lack of adaptable skills rather than technical ones. Employers favor generalists who can learn quickly, manage diverse tasks, and solve cross-functional problems. Skill stacking enhances marketability as it combines various transferable skills to meet professional demands effectively.
