Answer 1

I could give you ton of great pieces of software to place on a resume that will turn an employers head. Only problem is you won’t know how to use the software.

If you put down your proficient in Quick books you better know how to use it. Think about it. If the company you’re applying to uses MS Excel, Power Point and you have Excel on your resume you better know how to use it or you can kiss your job good bye. There is no training unless stated by the employer. Most don’t train.

I see this happen all the time. People will put down they know how to use Execl, Power point. During the interview I sit them in front of a PC and have them show me. Believe it not, at lest 70% were clueless.

So, be honest and only put down what you know.

Answer 2

The best ones to put on your resume are the actual ones you know. ADP is a payroll software. Quickbooks is one word not two. Quicken is a glorified checkbook. Good luck!
