With my luck, they actually might.

I really want to put "Skilful in Windows 95" on my resume. I work in IT, and I would promise employers would discover that hilarious. I know I would.

level two

You should do it! Follow your dreams!

level 2

Means you tin can as well put - "extensive experience with Floppies and Dial-up connections"

level 1

Multi-tasking, ability to work independently/with piffling or no supervision, fantabulous communication and problem solving skills. A tip besides: near job applications (online, for sure) have a listing of "required skills" for the position. Go through it and add some of their key skills required to your resume. Best of luck!

Awesome communication, thanks and so much!

level i

Team work skills. Depending on the chore, teamwork can play a big part. Practiced luck OP:)

level ane

Unless information technology'due south a desk or calculating task, don't put "skillful with computers."

LaTeX is a skill you lot should learn how to use.

Calculation generic things won't really help yous.

I'yard actually pretty well versed in LaTeX. I'm studying Estimator Scientific discipline at the moment and have plenty of computing experience.. Just non so much work experience. And so I was simply hoping to beef my CV up for the more general jobs like retail I can get part time. Unfortunately, Bed Bath and Beyond doesn't give a shit what I tin can do on a estimator :(
