Have you been looking for a job, or extra work on the side, and getting ever more frustrated even though the job market is turning up? While the market is improving, it’s still a tough environment out there, especially for college graduates who have little experience on their resumes. The good news is that a number of recent surveys and studies show that open source skills are in increasing demand at many organizations.
In the latest example of these reports, Dice.com and The Linux Foundation surveyed more than 850 global hiring managers and 2,600 Linux professionals, finding that Linux skills, in particular, are very much in demand.
“[Linux] is considered the most ubiquitous and popular free open-source operating system,” The Linux Foundation reports. “And if you demonstrate IT skills in this field, you’re setting yourself up for a lucrative in-demand career.”
