To me, this paragraph thoroughly answers the "tools" question once and for all. If you can't learn quickly, you shouldn't be in this field to begin with, right? So go out and learn anything you have to that's required to get a job, either before or after you say you know it...

For those who have issues with this kind of lie, I'd suggest mentally shifting into "documentation mode" as you describe your skill set. Remember, we always write in the present tense... You can say under your breath "When you click Start for my position in your company," and continue out loud with "I know FrameMaker, Word, and DreamWeaver."
