Amid the coronavirus pandemics, companies have announced pay cuts, furlough, permanent shutdowns, and even layoffs. As professionals prepare for the job hunt, it’s time to polish up your resume and add the skills that matter the most: analytical thinking skills.
Every decision you make in life has an impact. From the quality of life to your happiness, each decision counts. So, wouldn’t you want to make conscious choices? That's where analytical thinking comes in.
