The experts agree: anyone can take a course in C++, but it’s not going to land you the job. The most in-demand jobs for the new year might be rooted in the booming computer industry, but it’s not only technical and programming chops that prospective hires should be showcasing. “The most sought-after skill-sets for recruiters are becoming less and less about proficiency in specific processes and coding languages,” says Rich Milgram, CEO of career network Beyond, “And more about how you think systems through and work within the context of the team. Learning a technology is the easy part. Having the mindset to apply it, having the mindset and logic to process it, being thorough and detail-oriented while doing so, these are the critical skills.” Here, the 10 most critical job skills to parlay in your job search for 2013: No. 1 Critical Thinking (found in 9 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems. No. 2 Complex Problem Solving (found in 9 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Identifying complex problems and reviewing related information to develop and evaluate options and implement solutions. No. 3 Judgment and Decision-Making (found in 9 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Considering the relative costs and benefits of potential actions to choose the most appropriate ones. No. 4 Active Listening (found in 9 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate and not interrupting. No. 5 Computers and Electronics (found in 8 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Knowledge of circuit boards, processors, electronic equipment and computer hardware including applications and programs. No. 6 Mathematics (found in 6 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics and their application. No. 7 Operations and Systems Analysis (found in 5 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Determining how a system or operation should work and how changes in conditions, operations and environments will affect outcomes. Understanding the needs and product requirements of a particular design. No. 8 Monitoring (found in 5 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Monitoring and assessing performance of yourself, other individuals or organizations to make improvement or take corrective action. No. 9 Programming (found in 3 out of the 10 most in-demand jobs) Writing computer programming for various purposes.
