Importance of Technical Skills on your CV
Technical skills need no introduction but to simply put anything related to technical, or technology, inclusive of, but not limited to, data, science, engineering, mathematics, or finance would come under this domain. Typically, technical skills involve developing software, coding, working with complex software, tools and techniques. Candidates require specific studies or training to gain expertise in technical skills.

These days, technology is everything. The world is connected through continuous digital and scientific enhancements. Employers expect and prefer candidates to be tech-savvy in some form or other. Competition is getting tougher for graduates and experienced candidates alike.
If you ask why Technical Skills matter so much on the CV, we’ll tell you why:
1.    Efficiency:
Candidates with technical expertise are considered more efficient than those who lack them. Employers favour technically sound candidates. There are numerous technical skills in the market that applicants can learn, as per the domain and industry they are in. As a result they can apply for the relevant positions accordingly.

2.    Value Addition:
Mentioning technical skills adds value to your CV. If you have taken the courses and worked on a particular technology, then you must mention it on your CV. Employers must get an idea of the same. This increases the confidence quotient in your capabilities.

3.    Increases Confidence:
Having certain abilities in your kitty always helps you stand out from rest of the crowd. Because you possess those skills, you have the confidence that you will crack the interview. The employer also feels assured of your knowledge and understands the value addition that you will bring to the table.

4.    Escalates growth:
Once you gain the skills, you move up the ladder of success pretty quickly. You become important for the organisation that believes in your capabilities and uplifts you. Your technical know-how in your CV will help you get into desired jobs without any hassle, which equals to quick growth.

5.    Higher Package:
With more hands on knowledge of technology, comes more money. Companies worship skills, and are willing to pay more to candidates who possess them. Businesses don’t just want to fill the roles, they also look for people who have real knowledge. Hence, by listing your skills on your CV, you would automatically become eligible to receive higher package than others.

6.    Asset to the Company:
Technically strong candidates are an asset to any company. When you mention a certain skill on your CV that is latest or upcoming, and can benefit the company, they would surely make more efforts to hire you. There is a difference between working at an organisation, and being considered a valuable asset at your workplace. Technical skills help you become the latter.

Graduatewise.com has a separate section to mention your skills that are automatically added to the CV that it creates on its own. Hence, mentioning technical skills becomes pretty effortless. Understanding your potential and proficiency will help you assess how you can benefit any company.
Having technical skills, and continuously updating them makes your CV and your job worth it. It makes you powerful, useful, and a strong candidate that not many companies can refuse to hire.
