13 Most Useless Job Skills Employers Don't Want Anymore

For millions of Americans, there's nothing more frightening than waking up one day and discovering you're redundant. You've suddenly become replaceable, and the world has moved on without you. What are you supposed to do? In all likelihood, you've invested many years in a specific career path. You've sunk tens of thousands into degrees and certificates. Perhaps you've even given up more lucrative jobs to chase a passion.

Then, in one fell swoop, the rug has been pulled out from under you. It's a scary thought. But for more and more people, it's becoming a reality. The jobs of today are not the jobs of tomorrow. And the job skills you needed yesterday are not the job skills you need today — or tomorrow.

If you want the jobs of today or tomorrow, you need to frame yourself as an employee who's ready for those jobs. There are many ways in which you'll want to take special care in preparing your resume, but a good place to start is by focusing on the key skills that will get you the job.
