Courses related to resume-writing, mindfulness, and specific technical skills, such as the programming language Python, also saw an uptick over the same period. While the surge in demand came from a broad range of professions, the greatest was among those industries hardest hit by the crisis, such as recreation and travel, real estate and consumer goods.
The courses demonstrate workers' efforts to cope with the current uncertainty, LinkedIn's vice president of talent and learning solutions for Asia-Pacific, Feon Ang, told CNBC Make It."Picking up new skills, and honing current ones, is necessary now more than ever so that companies and professionals alike can get back on their feet and be ready to move forward together, as we transition to the new normal," she said. She added that those skills would not be put to waste as companies transition to new ways of working over the long term. "Remote working, or work flexibility, used to be a distinctive perk. Today, it is increasingly an expectation in a multi-generational workforce," Ang said.The most important skills to focus on will depend on your situation. Ang recommended some particular areas for attention, depending on your career stage. Junior to mid-level professionals: Remote working, time management and productivity hacks for working from homeJob seekers: Interview skills, and building and developing professional networks, ranging from recovering from a layoff to tips for staying motivated during a job hunt. One way to stay positive is to set clear goals, Ang said. "Think through what you can do to make the best of this situation and what you hope to achieve during this pandemic. Add this to your daily routine and stick by it." "It's also important for job seekers to stay connected to their networks, through various online platforms. Reach out for advice, or even to see if you can be connected to new opportunities through your network," she added.
