I am always on the hunt for new tools to help me manage my personal and professional life. With so many obligations to juggle on top of a long distance military relationship, every little bit counts. That’s why I really enjoyed this list of the 99 Sites Every Professional Should Know About and Use. The list is a great source of tools for productivity, inspiration, advice, and information.
99 is a lot though so if you don’t have time to go through the whole list (I hope you do though because there are some great sites out there I didn’t know about!), I whittled down the list to the 15 sites that all career-minded military significant others should know about. Click the names of each site to see what they have to offer!
- Trello: Trello is a great way to stay organized. You can manage different projects, keep track of ideas and keep up with all the due dates. It is a nice tool to make sure you have everything in place where and when you need it.
- Pocket: Sometimes you are browsing Twitter, WordPress or Facebook and you come across a really interesting article….that you don’t have time to read! Pocket lets you save that article for later and read it whenever you want to. Perfect for the well-informed girl on the go.
- CreativeLive: This is a great site to learn new creative skills. Whether you are interested in photography, video, design, crafts or business, this site has a class for you.
- Duolingo: Duolingo helps you learn a new language for free. I love it.
- Skillcrush: Skillcrush teaches you the skills to be an expert in all things digital. Try the free bootcamp!
- Skillshare: This is another skill developing website but this one has everything including fashion design.
- Codecademy: You should probably know how to code, even a little bit. This site breaks down learning to code into manageable pieces. Put even a little bit of knowledge of coding on your resume and watch the offers pile in.
- Coursera: Online courses for free from Princeton, Yale and more? Sign me up! Actually, I already have. I’ve taken a couple of courses on here.
- MasterStreet: This is a professional development search engine. It will help you find the best classes and conferences in your area to learn skills and network.
- Udemy: Another online skill building website. Unfortunately, some of these courses aren’t free. But some, like How to Negotiate Salary or Foundations of Business Strategy, are free!
- 99U: 99U helps make your ideas happen. They have great articles and advice on turning your greatest dreams and ideas into reality.
- Huntsy: I could have definitely used this when on the job hunt. Huntsy will manage the different positions you are applying to. You can manage the due dates, see who you know at the companies through LinkedIn and keep track of all your communications with the company. Amazingly helpful.
- About.me: This is a really easy site that helps you create a basic, personal website that acts sort of like a visual resume.
- Dailyworth: I just found out about this site but I really like it. It helps ambitious women manage their money, time and careers.
- Inc: This is a great magazine for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, management or small businesses. They are also military friendly, with a whole section and events focused on the military community.
