What are Special Skills?
Special skills are the traits and abilities you possess that make you particularly
qualified for a position. Interviewers ask about your best skills because they want to gauge
how you can contribute to their company's success.
Computer programmers need to have a wide range of skills to perform the many
responsibilities of the position at the highest level of professionalism. The most effective
programmers combine knowledge, aptitude and technical capability with soft skills such as
the ability to work as part of a team and to communicate well with others. Aspiring
computer programmers need to be able to demonstrate both types of skills. This article
covers the most important skills for programmers to have and how to present them
effectively when seeking employment.
What are computer programmer skills?
Computer programmer skills are methods and processes that provide computers with
instructions on what actions to perform. Collectively known as “code,” these instructions
are written by computer programmers to solve problems or perform specific tasks.
Programming generally results in a specific set of actions or the creation of a tangible
result, whether it is a software application, a web page or even just an image displayed on a
computer screen. Computer programmer skills often combine creativity with technical and
analytical elements. In many ways, programming represents a perfect merging of art and
science.
Examples of computer programmer skills
As with many other fields, computer programmer skills can be grouped into hard and
soft skills. “Hard skills” refer to measurable abilities that are developed over time through
practice or study. “Soft skills,” on the other hand, are abilities that enable people to fit into
a working environment or work effectively with others. Here are some of the most
important skills to have as a computer programmer:
-Proficiency with programming languages.
--Learning concepts and applying them to other problems
-Mathematical skills.
-Problem-solving capability
-Communication skills
-Writing skills
-Inquisitiveness
Graphic design skills are a hot commodity for creative workers who enjoy using the
right side of their brain. Sure, graphic design jobs can be stimulating and fun, but they're
also potentially lucrative. Top performers earn almost $37 per hour, according to Monster
data. In addition, graphic designers who climb their way to the position of art director—the
person who is responsible for the visual style and images in magazines, newspapers,
product packaging, movies, and TV shows—make a median salary of more than $83,000
per year.
Another reason to enter this field: Graphic design jobs are here to stay, says Kevin
Jankowski, director of the Rhode Island School of Design's career center. "In our visually
saturated world, graphic designers are more important than ever, since they help filter the
visual cacophony that we're bombarded with every day," Jankowski says.
In order to have a thriving career as a graphic designer, though, you need the right set of
skills. Read on to learn more, then check out this graphic designer resume sample to see it
