In today's episode I have a great question from Mihai.

To-infinitive

Mihai asks, I need to improve my resume and my CV.

How can I describe my computer skills in English?

Just before I forget, I want to make sure that I mention,

if you're looking for practice, maybe for a job interview,

and you need to improve your speaking skills,

I highly recommend that you grab the two-for-one offer from my friends at italki at GoNaturalEnglish.com/italki.

OK, so, describing your computer skills in English for your resume

I have five different words that I want you to use.

First of all, you need to know what program,

or what computer thing, that you're talking about.

At the beginner range you could say, learning HTML.

That would be OK for a cover letter when you write in full phrases, but on a resume

we typically would list computer skills in one section with bullet points and phrases,

So learning HTML, or beginner in HTML, or knowledge of HTML.

Now, next level up I'm going to share with you how

to say beginner, intermediate, and advanced in some good words.

Next level up you could say proficient in HTML.

Those are three different ways that you can say that you're

On a resume its important to be native-like, but not casual.

so that's what I'm sharing with you in this episode.

And finally, if you are advanced in this topic, HTML

Now remember, you can replace HTML with another program or skill, such as Microsoft Office

So those are three ways to say, advanced, expert and proven expertise.

I said I was going to tell you five ways,

but then I thought of more, so you're actually

getting nine different ways to talk about your computer skills in English.

Well, I would go with the-- either one of the words that I suggested

I like knowledge of, or proficient in, or expert in.

there's more than one way to talk about your skills--

I wish you the best of luck with updating your CV and your resume.

And if you want to practice for your job interview,

remember that there's a special, for you,

from my friends at italki for one-on-one English lessons.
