Careers site Dice.com released a list of five up-and-coming IT skills that are catching the attention of hiring managers. The skills were first identified based on employer searches of the Dice resume database. Topping the list of search terms is iRise, which makes a simulation platform that allows companies to test-drive business software. Rounding out the top five were COTS (commercial off-the-shelf software), Crystal SDK, PeopleSoft Security, and NetApp.
Being aware of the IT skills hiring managers are looking for can help jobseekers fine-tune their resumes. Jobseekers oftentimes focus on sifting through and applying for posted jobs without realizing it's a two-way street: Potential employers are also on the hunt for candidates, sometimes for jobs that haven't even been posted yet, and they find talent by doing their own resume searches. As a result, it's not enough just to have a good resume and apply for jobs. You also want to make sure your resume has the right keywords so that potential employers are able to find you when they're doing searches.
