Can you be more specific about the useful skills? Like a list, out of which you need 2 or 3. Would be good to know what specifically companies want you to be confident about :)

Are you a passable Java programmer? Can you speak english to a business level? Can you wear a suit?

Congratulations, you're qualified to work as a contract programmer at a bank in the City of London.

They'd have to pay me double to wear a suit. I'm working poolside in shorts these days.
