Show your age via your CV of programming languages

Resume decoder- What various levels of software or programming knowledge people put on their resume actually mean.

Familiar with - Means you’ve heard of it. Even if the first time was when you read it in the job description that you’re applying for. Or maybe you’ve seen it used or demo’d.

Knowledgeable - you’ve used it to at least open a doc, or did a tutorial (such as copying code from a magazine or book). Extra credit if you actually typed it, in vs copy and paste. Maybe you even printed a document.

Expert - more knowledgeable than nearly anyone else in your old office. In Office programs, you actually know how to use templates.

Guru - You believe you know more than the person who is going to interview you.
