Highlighting Your Resume

Do not discount yourself. Do not underestimate yourself. Do not sell yourself short. These may all sound like cliche lines to make you feel better about yourself, but they are the truth. These days, employers are looking for a lot out of an employee. So, keep in mind that you have a lot of skills to offer.
It may seem trival to include a computer program you know how to use, or any software that does not apply to your skills set, but employers notice. Essentially, what this does is make you more marketable. With the way the economy is splashing, an HR person is going to want to know if a potential candidate can do the described job. But after that, they will want to know what else you can do for them.
Include on your resume any and all computer skills you have. But, be prepared to explain what you know and how you have applied them. Give it a try, you would be suprised at how much it can help!
