02How to list it
ResumeXRays guidanceBEE · How to show it
If it is central to the job, be specific. "Microsoft Excel" alone matches only the keyword. Name what you did with it: the features you used, the outputs you produced, the scale you worked at.
If it is assumed, spend the line elsewhere. O*NET lists Microsoft Excel for 859 occupations, so for most of them a recruiter takes it as given. Use the space for a tool that distinguishes you.
