Technical skills are invaluable. Software developers should be proficient with Java, XL, XML or object-oriented development technologies. Lots of technical publications focus on the latest technologies that are most sought after by companies. Quality assurance engineers should gain experience with the latest automated test tools such as Segue SilkTest, QA Partner, RSW e-Suite. Database developers and administrators should use the latest versions of relational databases and understand the concepts of each version
From a soft-skills standpoint, candidates should be up-to-date with the latest market trends in technology, and follow newsmakers in the industry. Understanding what competitors are doing creates a better self-awareness and can help strategise marketing and business development efforts. Being well connected within an industry can only result in high rewards whether it comes to business development, careers, partnerships, etc.
Finally, understanding business models and how companies make money is always good knowledge to have.
