MKTG 347 Week 2: 25 Skills To Get You Hired!

As a senior in college, it has come to my realization that I am about to graduate and be in the real world! Some of my friends who have had the pleasure of doing this already, never realized how hard it actually is to get a job. The whole point of college is to have a career right off-the-bat after graduation. That is the sad realization that I have today--it doesn't seem that way; only in a perfect world. With thousands of college students graduating at the same time as me, there is fierce competition. So, this means that what you have accomplished and what you went to college for should be displayed properly on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a great place to put yourself on the spot. This is where potential employers will be able to look at your profile to find out more about yourself, and some of the accomplishments and/or certifications you have had.

So, what are some of the top skills that were popular on LinkedIn for 2015 you ask? The top 5 of the hottest 2015 skills on LinkedIn were:
  • Cloud and Distributed Computing
  • Statistical Analysis and Data Mining
  • Mobile Development
  • Network and Information Security
  • Middleware and Integration Software
These were interesting to me because they are not the typical things that one sees for skills on here. Also, very suprising that Cloud and Distributed Computing was listed as number 1! We all know that everything is digital and now people are becoming experts for the next thing in technology. Check out the picture below that lists the rest of the top 25 most hottest skills for 2015!
