Got a technical issue that you’d normally call a help desk about?

Steve Jobs said that everyone should learn how to program a computer as it teaches you how to think. There’s plenty of truth in that statement, as deciding to learn how to program will not only give you the knowledge and a technological advantage but it will give you a new way of approaching things. Being able to identify issues, and working through each problem in turn until you come up with solutions and focusing on your attention to detail are all benefits.
Having the ability to program means another string on your bow for your CV – this is a sure-fire way to ensure that your CV stands apart from any other candidate. Even if you’re not applying for a job that requests the expertise specifically, it’s still classed as a useful and transferable skill. After all, learning how to program also demonstrates how you’re smart, hard-working and dedicated to self-improvement.
