#5 Know how to cook

Forget about the presentation. Who cares what the food looks like after you cook it? It’s just important to know the basics. It’s not ideal to eat out every night. Knowing how to cook is key.

#4 Changing a tire

You never know when a situation will arise where you have a flat tire. Instead of having to wait around for a repair service, take matters into your own hands and change the tire yourself. If you’re on a highway though, it may be smarter to call for help. Safety first!

#3 Create a resume

You’d think everyone would know this, but having graduated college not too long ago I can say from my experience I was never formally taught how to create a resume. I did it through various other sources but I was never given a formal guide. A resume is pertinent in getting a job!

#1 Housekeeping skills

This can range anywhere from fixing a lightbulb to doing your laundry. You can’t call for help any time a little thing goes wrong in your home. Being self-sufficient and fixing/doing things on your own is vital.
