Resume question: If I put "proficient in Microsoft Office," is that specific enough?

[yellowhummin217]

I have on my resume, "Proficient in Microsoft Office." Do I need to write out the actual programs (Access, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, and Word)?

[La Wai]

Probably enough.

[John Paul]

No need for specifics, Any employer will understand Microsoft Office, or even office applications, if you don't want to use Microsoft's name.

[blueeyes]

No thats enough. If you know all of them well then that will do.

office itself means it has Excel outlook and all included.'http://everyactress.blogspot.com/200...line.htmlObama speech in berlin

I think that would be great............. they say make a resume short and sweet, and sounds like you sum it all up in one word (well 2) there! Good Luck!

[lanek]

you want to be as specific as possible on it...

[jazzypiano]

Since it's so vague, I'd at least put "proficient in all programs of Microsoft Office" since many people may put "Office" when they just mean "Word"

No That's Not Enough Info.

I would put all of those because it makes the resume look alot nice and more professional.
