A decade or two ago, computers were considered great tools to enhance productivity. Today, many organizations are built on or around the capability of computers. Manufacturing environments of the past often used computers for accounting or payroll purposes only. Today, most of these organizations have computers on the manufacturing floor that track everything from incoming raw materials to finished products. Because computer skills have become crucial in most jobs, they should be highlighted on your resume.
Many people create a separate section on their resume, dedicated to their computer experience.
Be very specific in this section, listing hardware, operating systems and software used. Remember to include computer experience that was gained outside of the workplace. For example, you may list software and operating systems that you run on your home computer. Also, if you have used your computer skills on a volunteer basis, give yourself credit for this. A poorly photocopied resume with a long list of computer skills defeats the purpose.
