I admit, I list the primary software I'm experienced in on my resume
because a lot of
employers look for that. but the list also gives the general
*categories* of experience..
If an employer sees that I'm experienced in both Word and WordPerfect,
s/he can
assume that I'm pretty flexible, and won't blanch if they want to use
another word
processor, even tho it isn't on my list.
At least that is my intention.
