> If you’re not familiar with the concept of T-shaped skills, or T-shaped people, don’t worry, most people are not. It’s an HR metaphor used to describe the skills of candidates. So if you think of your skills as plotted on a graph, you’ll notice you’ve got different levels in each. And if you unite those levels, you’d want them to create a T-shape instead of anything else.
I've always been a fan of 'pi' shaped skillset where you're deep in 2-ish+ areas rather than one core skill. It also means that you don't become known for just one singular thing. This becomes even better when the your deep areas complement each other and you'll find the sum greater than the parts.
