While specifying the computer skill you need to specify not only the skill that you posses but the level to which you have these skills. You should specify what different types of computer skills you have and to what extent you have these skills. For example a person applying for a secretary job can give her knowledge about computer skills as “proficient in MS office, preparation of charts etc”.the following information is for people who sre applying for jobs in the US government. The form 171 has been replaced by a federal resume which is a 2-4 page document which contains various details about the applicant such as social security number, address, records etc. while applying for private companies people don’t give their personal information.
