We live in a technological age — and there is no going back. For anyone looking to get ahead in their career, mastering certain skills is absolutely necessary.

Here are eight of the most in-demand job skills to have on your résumé in 2018:

1. Coding

We’re in the middle of another tech boom, and there aren’t enough coders to meet the demand. Coders are hot commodities inside and out of the tech industry, and the pay is quite lucrative.

Growing up in the small town of Bradenton, Florida, Miriam Álvarez had a pretty typical American childhood. She took the pledge of allegiance every morning in elementary school and cheered the U.S. team during Olympic spirit week in high school. Her younger brother enrolled in the Army, and is now serving in South Korea.

But when Álvarez was 14, her parents sat her down in the living room and told her a secret they’d been keeping her whole life: Álvarez, her sister, and her parents were undocumented. Her mother had brought Álvarez from Mexico to the U.S. when she was just nine months old. 

“It was a shock because you felt lied to,” says the shy 22-year-old, who laughs nervously when talking about her past. “Telling me that I’m not American, or not even Mexican American. So really, what am I?” Read more…

Javascript is not your ordinary programming language. For one thing, it’s old AF within the world of coding — created way back in 1995. For reference, that was the year Hillary Clinton was First Lady, and the year that the “Macarena” went viral. But while the Macarena is now reserved for wedding playlists only, Java remains one of the top 5 most popular programming languages to learn, more than 20 years later.

If you’re new to the world of coding, looking for a career change, or just curious as to what this whole programming thing is all about, this online course that’s on sale for just $39 is a great investment. Here’s why Javascript is still a great language to learn in 2018: Read more…
