25 skills LinkedIn says are most likely to get you hired in 2018 \u2014 and the online courses to get them<\/strong><\/a> — from businessinsider.com by Mara Leighton<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

With the introduction of far-reaching and robust technology, the job market has experienced its own exponential growth, adaptation, and semi-metamorphosis. So much so that it can be difficult to guess what skills employer’s are looking for and what makes your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 \u2014 and not another \u2014 stand out to recruiters.<\/p>\n

Thankfully,\u00a0LinkedIn created a 2018 “roadmap”<\/a>\u2014 a list of hard and\u00a0soft skills<\/a>\u00a0that companies need the most.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn used data from their 500+ million members to identify the skills companies are currently working the hardest to fill. They grouped the skills members add to their profiles into several dozen categories (for example, “Android” and “iOS” into the “Mobile Development” category). Then, the company looked at all of the hiring and recruiting activity that happened on LinkedIn between January 1 and September 1 (billions of data points) and extrapolated the skill categories that belonged to members who were “more likely to start a new role within a company and receive interest from companies.”<\/p>\n

LinkedIn then coupled those specific skills with related jobs and their average US salaries \u2014 all of which you can find below, alongside courses you can take (for free or for much less than the cost of a degree) to support claims of aptitude and stay ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

The online-learning options we included \u2014 LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, Coursera, and edX\u2014 are among the most popular and inexpensive.<\/p>\n
