RE: How much knowledge to advertise and how to advertise it?

Mitch,
I'd list them and not worry about it till you are asked. Then explain
your experience level and the types of things you've done with them. I'd
tend to think that your other experience with statistics and math
packages would be transferable, so it isn't as if you just picked up a
book that you browsed through.

It'll be interesting to see what others think.

I'm learning, on my own, SQL and R (a statistical package).  

Specifically, I'm going through various tutorials I've found online
and using the GPL packages (MySQL and PostgreSQL) on my Linux box at
home.

And I know just enough Linux to maintain that Linux box, though I'm
willing to learn more.

I am wondering how much knolwedge (novice?  intermediate user?) is
necessary before I can claim I know enough about it for technical
documentation purposes.

And how do I phrase it? Just add the software package names to my
resume, or do I put in qualifiers?

I don't want to claim I'm something I'm not, but I do want to make my
resume as shiny as possible.

Your thoughts?
