As Americans continue to file unemployment claims at historic rates, more are job hunting more than usual. Refreshing your resume is a must-take step for anyone seeking new employment.

This list features 16 skills – eight soft skills and eight hard skills. Soft job skills, listed first, are more comparable to personality traits. They have more to say about your social and personable capabilities in a work environment than anything else. Hard skills refer to specific technical knowledge and training. Develop these skills at home today to make you a better worker on the job tomorrow. (Bianca Sanchez, The Active Times)
