Wording computer skills: examples by role

Office, ERP and industry software: stating IT skills concretely and with levels.

Computer skills: good says nothing – programs with levels and use do.

Getting concrete

  • Name programs: Excel (pivots, lookups) instead of Office.
  • Add levels: basic, advanced or daily use.
  • Mind the industry: SAP, accounting or CAD prominent per role.

Staying current

  • Cut the old: what you have not used in years goes out.
  • Learn new: one course a year keeps the list fresh.
  • Collect proof: certificates and projects back the list.

Keep IT skills as their own list – sorted by relevance to the role.
