Hello everyone. I'm looking to make a career change but not quite sure what direction to take. My current position involves invoicing and shipping of goods. I would like to be someplace bigger that doesn't seem so mom and pop -ish. So I'm curious if any of you can recommend what you believe to be the most in demand tech skills. Thanks.

Best way to look at in-demand tech skills is to look at job postings for roles you are interested in. Look at the requirements and skills sections on job postings and it will give you an idea of what tech skills employers are looking for. What kind of tech skills are you interested in learning?

Data! Good skills are pretty much anything dealing with data these days. Data analysis, data science, etc. There are some really good resources out there for learning online that are either free or fairly inexpensive (Coursera, Udemy). Take a couple of the intro classes and see if it's something for you.

Not sure about tech skills but it sounds like you have a strong background in logistics which is pretty in-demand these days.

Hi Joan. Thanks for replying. I think in some ways I do, in others I don't. For examples, I've never negotiated freight rates, or dealt with bills of lading. I suppose I could learn that over time.

I would search for logistics jobs and see if there are any you have the qualifications for.
