25 OF THE MOST IN-DEMAND SKILLS IN 2019 – ACCORDING TO LINKEDIN

Staff Writer26 January 2019
Subscribe





New analysis from networking site LinkedIn, shows that 2019’s employers are
looking for a combination of both hard and soft skills, with creativity topping
the list of desired attributes.

This coincides with recent findings from the World Economic Forum’s Future of
Jobs report, which concluded that ‘human’ skills like originality, initiative
and critical thinking are likely to increase in value as technology and
automation advances.

“Strengthening a soft skill is one of the best investments you can make in your
career, as they never go out of style,” said LinkedIn learning editor, Paul
Petrone.

“Plus, the rise of AI is only making soft skills increasingly important, as they
are precisely the type of skills robots can’t automate.”

“That’s why 57% of senior leaders today say soft skills are more important than
hard skills.”

Below are the five soft skills companies are looking for most in 2019 according
to LinkedIn’s data.

 * Creativity – While robots are great at optimising old ideas, organisations
   most need creative employees who can conceive the solutions of tomorrow.

 * Persuasion – Having a great product, a great platform or a great concept is
   one thing, but the key is persuading people to buy into it.

 * Collaboration – As projects grow increasingly more complex and global in the
   age of AI, effective collaboration only grows more important.

 * Adaptability – An adaptable mind is an essential tool for navigating today’s
   ever-changing world, as yesterday’s solutions won’t solve tomorrow’s
   problems.

 * Time Management – A timeless skill, mastering time management today will
   serve you the rest of your career.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hard skills

While soft skills have grown increasingly important, LinkedIn said that there
were also a number of ‘hard skills’ which were based on more direct requirements
from companies.

Below are an outline of these skill categories and an explanation of why they
are so in demand.

 * Cloud Computing – As the world rushes toward the cloud, companies are
   desperately searching for engineers who have the skills to accommodate this
   demand.

 * Artificial Intelligence  – As the world rushes toward the cloud, companies
   are desperately searching for engineers who have the skills to accommodate
   this demand.

 * Analytical Reasoning – AI skills are among the fastest-growing skills on
   LinkedIn, with a 190% increase in AI skills on LinkedIn from 2015 to 2017.

 * People Management – The world has changed from a “command-and-control” model
   toward leaders who can coach and empower, a difficult skillset few
   professionals possess.

 * UX Design – UX design is the key to making a digital world work for humans.

 * Mobile Application Development – A skill that’s been in demand for several
   years as companies continue to design mobile-first platforms.

 * Video Production – Demand for video production is spiking as video streaming
   represents 70% of all consumer Internet traffic.

 * Sales Leadership – Sales is one of those skills that is always in demand, and
   great sales leaders are only becoming harder and harder to find.

 * Translation – We are more connected globally than ever before, with
   translation skills breaking down one of the last remaining barriers:
   language.

 * Audio Production – Similar to video, there’s been a spike in interest in
   podcasts and other audio digital formats recently, leading to increased
   demand for this skill.

 * Natural Language Processing – The technology behind Alexa and Google Home,
   everything from our cars to our light bulbs are now becoming voice-activated.

 * Scientific Computing – Scientific computing is generally used to solve
   problems with massive amounts of data to consider – a need as companies
   continue to collect more and more data.

 * Game Development – In yet another sign of providing a better experience for
   digital users, the demand for those who can develop compelling online games
   remains strong.

 * Social Media Marketing – Social media continues to be a popular way to
   communicate with others digitally, as new platforms disrupt the market.

 * Animation – It is no surprise to see animation on the list, considering the
   surge of video traffic and the increasing prevalence of the GIF.

 * Business Analysis – Similar to data-driven decision making, more and more
   companies are relying on analysts to help them guide strategic investments.

 * Journalism – Once a dwindling skill, journalism isn’t just for journalists
   anymore as marketing and content teams alike vie for people who can tell
   compelling stories.

 * Digital Marketing – With the rise of digital, it’s no surprise to see digital
   marketing as the most in-demand marketing skill on the list.

 * Industrial Design – The demand for those who can design something that is
   both practical and eloquent will never go away.

 * Competitive Strategies – Virtually all companies are facing increased
   competition, with organizations starved for people who can help them stay
   abreast and ahead of their competitors.

 * Customer Service Systems –  In a world where one bad experience can lead to a
   tweet the whole world sees, consistent customer service is increasingly
   paramount.

 * Software Testing – New softwares are hitting the market at record-numbers –
   requiring more and more people who can ensure they actually work.

 * Data Science – An in-demand skill for the past several years, there is still
   a strong need for those who can make sense of a magnitude of data.

 * Computer Graphics – As a sizeable part of our digital world goes from 2D to
   3D, companies are looking for people who can foster that transition.

 * Corporate Communications – With social media, local mistakes can lead to
   global outrages, requiring people who can manage difficult situations.
