Re:The Key Skill Is Ability to Learn (Score 1)

I'd like to see a day where a skill that is searched for on a resumé is no longer a specific ability with a specific tool, but simply the line "Fast and adaptive learner" or "Excel at creative solution design in novel environments." That's what I'd be looking for in an employee, and for future generations of technology users.

Unfortunately that isn't what an employer will see when they see "Fast and adaptive learner". Instead, they'll adopt the more typical manager-think "He doesn't know tool XYZ! That will only increase his cost of training."

I do long for the same day as you, but for that to happen mindsets must be changed.
