How Do I Gain Research Skills?
Research skill is important skill to gain and leverage in your career. Research skill gives you the ability to deep dive into concepts, to perform critical analysis for insightful results that form a knowledge that significantly contributes to making difference in society, research area, and self-progress. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Good research is all about finding answers to your research questions - not necessarily as a way to verify what you already think you know. Getting involved with industries or academics in form of internships, workshops, and skill development training on specific topics of your interest will help you gain and sharpen your skill.
