German improved. Currently improving my French in Jersey (it's easy to get chatting with French folks in the hotel).Originally posted by sasguru View PostWith so many moaney whingers around, I wanted to ask, so what did you learn this year? What skills did you acquire? What qualifications to put you ahead of the globalised competition?
For me it was bidding and proposal skills, technically I learnt to use R as the enabling technology for my hard-won stats skills. Next year I will look at the data science capabilities in Python and look at technologies for large datasets.
It's been a bumper year.

How to interview back.
