Necessary Skills

I was just wondering what you think the top 3 most marketable programming skills are. What should I know to give me a better chance at landing my first job out of school? ASP? Perl? Cobol? (lots of want ads for this) Java? I have SO much C++ experience, but that doesn't seem to mean squat. What do I need? Thanks, Tym!

Hi Tym! I know your profile says tour in the US, but you might want to take a look at this UK based computer trends site. www.jobstats.co.uk[^] It details job advert trends for IT, so you can see which skills are in demand and how they have changed over time. It's not exactly a definate measure, but it's certainly a useful site. ;)

He, he, looks that our profund C++ skills are not that outdated as often claimed :cool: (C++ on rank 11 and Java on rank 15 :-D ) -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de

I see the "Bush Recession" is affecting the UK too. Job postings and jobs are way down in the US and not likely to recover for a while.

It's an employeers market, so you have to be very experienced (or in a few cases - very cheap) Michael :-) Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana
