I know this seems like a very obvious question. But I mean with regards to job searches. Even internships seem to require a variety of skills these days. I'm interested in both web development and just recently have considered data analysis. Should I work on tutorials and personal projects for a single skill or framework at a time? Or make small projects across a wide variety of things so I can put those skills on my resume?

Learn some boring industry standard language if you want a job.

If I don't know any insiders, where could I learn this kind of stuff? Industry podcasts?
