Question
There are several strategies that can be used to fill in gaps in skills when starting a new role. First, identify the skills that are needed for the role and assess your current skill set. This will help you identify the gaps. Second, seek out training opportunities, either through your employer or on your own, to learn the necessary skills. Third, practice the skills as much as possible. Finally, seek feedback from others to ensure you are improving and to identify any additional areas for improvement.
