I would think knowledge of cloud infrastructure, like AWS or Azure would be on the list.
Agree. I doubted this list as soon as I saw “Microsoft Access”. :)
I can read and write. I listen. I speak English and I show up on time.
I’m a better candidate than 80 percent of today’s college snowflakes.
MATLAB is at the bottom?
Seems ass-backward in terms of earning potential.
ima laboring at four skill-sets in the top ten and getting better ..
7. Russian
...
20. English
...
21. Spanish
Huh?
All top skills named are features that will soon be dominated by robots and/or software systems, if they aren’t already.
Just be honest, and hang a sign in the virtual window saying:
“Human Beings, need not apply”
Access gets a bad rap. 15 years ago, I was hired by a start-up to develop their system specifically in MS Access. It has grown over the years into a mid-level enterprise system. Order processing, inventory, job cost, purchasing, expense claims, DOT emissions compliance, Hazmat safety, production scheduling, ad-hoc inquiry screens, automated email delivery of reports too numerous to count. Just about everything except time clock and payroll.
The caveat here is that the back-end is SQL Server; only the UI and reports are in Access.

But you are an evil white male with the highest privilege so no job for you.
No medical skills? I pass two hospital billboards every day touting sign up bonus if hired.
But can you double-talk your way in an interview successfully using technological buzz-words that make you sound intelligent, while checking off any of the modern culturally approved diversity boxes that corporations so desperately need these days in order to look accepting?
I’ve found Access 03 can run a fair sized 24/7 manufacturing facility.
If it ever goes kaput, we are in trouble.
I’m out of luck too.
o Top Skills wanted are foreign, cheap labor, willing to work at 1/4 native pay.

o Otherwise bring your Hardcore Socialist relatives into the USA, and go on welfare.
o We Corporate Socialists, socialize our costs, so foreigners go on welfare, use hospital emergency room healthcare, SNAP food stamps, and piss on your local people and culture.
o Islamic poverty slaves go to the front of the hire line, if you are willing to pray, face in the dirt, butt up to your neighbors.
o Corporate Company Store will sell you foreigners junk, we own the land, you live in a cardboard box.
o We only hire, fake foreign resumes, fake schooling, fake made up skills.

So true. Lucky for me - I’m 26 years at the same company. 4 years away from retirement.
At that time I will be replaced by an Indian with an H1B visa.
You mean some of these places have actually moved-on from Netscape Navigator, Microsoft word 5.0 and Microsoft Mail as key “skills” they are looking for?
