Looking for Employment Skill List?

A few years back, I had a career counselor give me a pamphlet that contains a list of various skills per category; these were skills that I both learned in school, as well as learned in my job working experience. I then used the list by writing down all the skills that I had that applied to me, and was able to cite at least one example to substantiate each. I moved a few months ago, and cannot find the notebook that I wrote containing these. I want to type a new one on my computer. Can someone suggest if there is a source I can find on the Internet that can serve as a list or template that I can use to re-create this list? I tried, but could not find what I'm trying to describe here. Thank you. Ben
