How should I list software skills on my resume that I have familiarity with but aren’t highly skilled in? For example, used R in one class, but wouldn’t say I’m an expert. Or used Salesforce for an internship- but just to edit lead sources for new logos? Have heard to put “novice” next to these skills? How should I format that?

“Experience in (fill in the blank)” the word novice is a negative and raises questions why you’re even putting on your resume.

Appreciate the advice. Thank you!

Some experience with, some exposure to, or familiarity with.

I honestly would leave it out if you didn't feel comfortable doing it on the job - don't lock yourself into that!@

If you want to get better at R you can definitely teach yourself. Check out W3 School for free learning resources. Would recommend learning how to use SQL functions in R to kill two birds with one stone. Since R is free, the only barrier to you learning it is time. I find it to be an easy, intuitive, fun tool.

Great, thank you all for the feedback!

Applied here and interviewed (presumably to the final round) and didn’t end up with an offer, I think due to the specific experience I’ve had so far.
