Chances are you already have all the hard skills you need.
The most useful skill is communication. Being able to "talk the talk", market yourself and come off an interesting and intelligent individual is the greatest asset somebody can have.
Also, learn another language (aim to know three). This is especially important if you happen to live in Europe where most companies are a mixed bag of various nations.
- fakelvis 16y agoWhen it comes to learning another language as a marketable skill your mileage will vary massively. If you do not have other reasons for learning the language, your ROI could be negligible (or negative). To learn a language well enough for it to be of the level required ('marketable skill' level) will take a very long time. Even then, it may be unnecessary. I concur that communication is one of the most useful skills. My writing and public speaking always brings questions and is often a topic of conversation. That I (attempt to) speak the language of the country I live in and have knowledge of a number of others? It's never mentioned.
