Looking for a job - need help with Computer skill requirements
I am great with MicroSoft Word, e-mails and Internet Explorer. I am basically self-taught so am lacking some of the proper terminology. Other than that I really know what I am doing. I have also dappled a bit with Excel and Publisher. Is it a mistake to put these in a resume?
Many office jobs sound really interesting but require QuickBooks. I was just given a 1998 version of QuickBooks Pro. Is it worth trying to learn or is it too outdated to be of any value? How hard is QuickBooks to learn?
Lastly, can someone please help me sort out the degree of proficiency and type of computer skills required when these appear in ads:
computer knowledge
computer literate
strong Internet and Microsoft office skills
excellent computer skills
Any help would really be appreciated. I am desperate for a part time job and would hate to miss out something that I may be able to handle.
Thank you.

computer knowledge
computer literate
-> IMO, means the same thing. very vague term. entails having an understanding of computers and their uses.
strong Internet and Microsoft office skills
-> MOS, profiecient w/ word, excel PPT and outlook (possible publisher)
excellent computer skills
-> again same thing as above
