Scoring a new job at a dream company often involves picking up new skills that’ll make you stand out from the large pool of applicants. However, it can sometimes be tough to know where to start, or which skills are actually worth investing time in learning.
To help gain some insight into what to focus on, LinkedIn just released the top five trending skills based on LinkedIn Learning data from LinkedIn’s top 50 companies. The brands surveyed — which LinkedIn ranks the highest in terms of career growth opportunities — include Amazon, JPMorgan Chase & Co., AT&T, Bank of America, IBM, Apple, and more.
Additionally, LinkedIn made some of its LinkedIn Learning courses to learn these skills completely free through May 31. That means that you can earn a certificate of completion to add to your LinkedIn profile so long as you’re signed into LinkedIn and finish the courses before the end of May.
Seeing as Amazon is listed as LinkedIn’s #1 company for career growth, it makes sense that knowing the design and delivery of AWS, its cloud computing services, would give you a competitive edge.
