02How to list it

ResumeXRays guidance
BEE · How to show it

If it is central to the job, be specific. "Microsoft Word" 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 Word for 784 occupations, so for most of them a recruiter takes it as given. Use the space for a tool that distinguishes you.
