As I looked for a new role at the end of 2020 in IT, I started to collect the requested skills of jobs I got offered or found while searching. As a service to people currently looking for I compiled this list of skills I found that were in highest demand. So if looking for a role, knowledge, certification or even a basic understanding can help you land a job. I realise this list is geared towards the job roles I was looking for as I was searching for those and got offered ones that resembled my previous experience.
