Freeland, author of "Navigating Your Way To Business Success", says, "In
a down job market,
we must be able to reinvent ourselves through learning new skills and
developing new capabilities in order to land the jobs that are
available." A potential employee is more valuable to a firm if he/she
can wear different hats as required.

TIP: Top skills for 2016 derive from STEM education-oriented initiatives (science, technology, engineering and math)
It’s important to stay up-to-date with the technology industry, as
it's constantly evolving and improving. Many tech skills have a high
turnover rate, meaning a skill learned last year might be absolutely
useless tomorrow. A study by Research in Labor Economics
concluded that approximately one-third of tech skills learned a year
prior lacked value today. On the bright side, the introduction of new
systems gives way to a dearth of people who understand how to navigate
them, and a great opportunity to be one of the first in the game.
