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.
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.
