If you have a resumé what do you have on there for special skills? If you don't have a resumé, what would you put if you did? There seems to be quite a few computer gurus around here among other things. How worthy are you for the workforce? Well here's my list:

1. Customer Service (public service at the library for 6 years)
2. Typing (approx. 40 wpm)
3. 10-key Calculator
4. Windows 3.1/95/98/XP
5. Microsoft Word/Excel
6. HTML/CSS
7. DOS
8. Dynix Circulation System (library database system)

I'm baffled because today I found myself applying for a cashier job at a 50's nostalgia restaurant. That's when I thought of making this thread. What an ish situation this is. I was kinda wondering if was legit to put HTML and CSS on there. They are two different kinds of code right? I've been working with this code a lot lately so I threw it on there. People will think I'm really smart now especially with my new webmaster e-mail address.

So what's up with you? Haha!

I'm borrowing this comment from elsewhere, but if you're not sure that HTML and CSS are in fact very different, perhaps you shouldn't be putting them on your resume.

Kidding aside, here is what I have on my resume.

Platforms
Windows 3, 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP
Mac OS 7, 8, 9, X

Software Packages
Adobe Photoshop 5, 5.5, 6, 7
Adobe Illustrator 9, 10
QuarkXpress 4
Adobe Pagemaker 6.5
Microsoft Office 97, 2000, XP
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firebird
Macromedia Dreamweaver 2, 3, Ultradev
Macromedia Flash 4
JASC Paint Shop Pro
CuteFTP
Fetch
WS_FTP

I don't know my typing speed or any of that, so I can't add it.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

Put anything relevant. Can you speak two languages? That helps. Are you certified to perform First Aid? That is really good to have when working in service.

Here's what I actually have. I need to update my resume.
