These skills were featured in more than three-quarters of paid jobs posted globally over the last three months on LinkedIn.
It's important to note that job-seekers don't need to include each skill on this list in their application to be successful in their search: A teacher, for example, doesn't necessarily need accounting skills to land a job, just as a financial analyst might not need to be skilled at digital marketing.
Still, it's smart to think about which skills are in-demand within the industries you are interested in, Heitmann says, by studying job descriptions, reading companies' career pages or setting up networking calls with people in those fields and asking them which skills they've found to be most helpful in their position.
In addition to including these sought-after skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile, Heitmann encourages job-seekers to mention examples of putting these skills into practice during an interview. For example, you could explain how mastering a skill helped you solve a difficult problem at work, or how certain skills you've developed would help you excel at the duties of the role you're up for.
"The days are over where companies expect you to do one set thing," Heitmann says."Having a growth mindset, being willing to learn and evolve over the course of your career will really help you become a marketable, competitive job candidate for the rest of your professional life."
