How to use this list
- Treat it as a map of the market, not a checklist. Tailor to the posting you are applying to.
- For each skill you really have, make sure it is written on your resume, in the posting's wording, where you used it.
- Leave out skills you do not have. Listing them can cost you in the interview.
