The computer skills section is where you list your knowledge of computer software, etc. Most people do so by enumerating the computer programs with which they are familiar using commas or bullet points. This basic way of presenting your computer skills is fine for most people. However, if you want to take it a notch further, you can also qualify your level of proficiency. Generally, you would only do so if it is to your advantage, like if you are expert with the program. For instance, many analyst jobs require that you use Excel and PowerPoint on a regular basis. It is a definitive advantage to be expert with these two programs. You can state something like “Expert in Excel and PowerPoint”.

Computer skills may also be relevant for people in technical fields such as Information Technology (IT), Programming, etc. If you belong to one of these professions, you may want to put the computer skills section higher up in your resume to give it more exposure. Another thing that you can do is to use another title for the section, like Technical Skills, Technical Certifications, Technical Proficiencies, etc.
