How could correctly rewrite this sentence with a more descriptive verb: "I worked as a supervisor of three team members."?

How could correctly rewrite this sentence so that it doesn't contain a negative qualifier? "Although I am not very familiar with Lotus, I am experienced in other spreadsheet programs."

1) "During my time with SoandSo Corporation, I successfully supervised a small team within the Blank Department."

2) *I would remove the business about Lotus. Stress your strong points, don't point out your short-comings. Try something like:

"I am well-versed in utilizing various spreadsheet programs."

Somewhere in there, mention that you are computer-savvy and a quick learner. That way, when it comes up in your interview, you have already made mention of your positive abilities and can easily transition into any program they may be using.

The trick is to get in their door for an interview--sell yourself in your cover letter. When you are sitting across from them is the time to address their particular requirements and confidently assure them you are the perfect person for their organization.

Don't forget to be brief, but dynamic. Recruiters spend only seconds glancing at a cover letter. If you mention what you can't do, it will go in the trash before they even look at your resume.

Good luck!

Use an active verb in sentence one instead of a multiple construction.

I supservised a three-member team.

For the second, adopt a positive construction, as you suggested you might.

I have very good experience in other spreadsheet programs but less familiarity with Lotus at this time.

in united statesa., direct verbs and brevity help achieveable employers decide in case you will extra healthful their beginning. attempt this: "I supervised 3 human beings." at the same time as your previous corporation would have talked approximately them as group individuals, i'm unsure what that would upload on your employment application. additionally (if actual): "i'm proficient with [ss call .. probable Excel??] via [point -- macro writing?, etc.]. To the quantity Lotus is comparable, i will have not have been given any difficulty adapting." {i'm conscious that Lotus isn't very person-friendly to any extent further, so are maximum potential employers.} GL
