What new skill have you learned recently, and why did you learn it?

"I've always enjoyed learning new languages. I worked with someone from Brazil when I was putting myself through college. That sparked my interest in learning their language, so I spent the last three months learning Portuguese in my spare time. I spend about five to ten hours a week in my free time listening to Portuguese podcasts and reading articles in Portuguese, so I was learning through immersion. It's been an interesting project to work on outside of college that I look forward to each day!"

"My previous company recently sponsored a 50-hour course I took on the ins and outs of SEO. It dove into the key principles of SEO and how we can incorporate its most important tenets into our digital marketing practices. This new skill deepened my understanding of the industry and made me a more valuable asset for our team."
