Esides having required cloud-based skills, job seekers need to validate their current skills in order to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Going ahead, the industry would be seeking a lot more professionals with cloud computing skills.“There can be two ways by which employees can work upon these skills – one, they build on their existing set of skills by gaining appropriate knowledge while working or getting cloud certifications from recognised institutions; secondly, those who are starting out, need to be ready with these skills, in order to get employed,” adds Corjan Bast, product manager- Emerging Technologies, ITpreneurs.Roles
