Get These Languages Under Your Belt For a New IT Job in 2016
2016 is in full swing and so is the job hunting season. If you plan to look for new IT jobs this year, IT recruiters and IT staffing companies are seeing a plethora of new jobs. If you’re still polishing up your resume and skills before you start working with IT recruiting firms, plenty of sites have put out predictions for the skills that will be most in demand. For programmers, these are projected to be top languages in demand 2016 (as predicted by Coding Dojo’s blog):
SQL
Java
JavaScript
C#
C++
Python
PHP
Ruby on Rails
iOS/Swift
The top programming language isn’t much of a surprise to IT staffing agencies or IT professionals. SQL is ubiquitous for a few reasons, but the explosion in the need for mobile apps could be a big factor. Whatever the reason, most IT recruiting agencies are working on a job that requires it at any given time.
What is a bit of a surprise is how far in popularity Ruby on Rails has slipped in the last few years. This is apparently due to an over saturation in the market of qualified programmers who can confidently tell IT staffing firms they’ve got the language under their belt.
If you’re looking to increase your technical skills, consider adding a few of these languages — it just might help widen your options for IT roles in 2016!
