Is it necessary to have:

Limited knowledge of Visual Basic.

Martin · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2004 3:09 pm

It's suprising. Everyone requires Visual Basic. So I put that I have limited knowledge of it. In other words, I can click and drag.

Couldn't you word it differently though. Like "Experience with VB." Not really specifying what your experience level is. It's not saying that you're good, but then again, it's not saying that you're bad.
When you use the word "Limited" it makes you sound unkowledgeable. And nobody wants to hire unkowledgeable people. Wink

I helped build is a very general term. 60 000 is a rough estimate. And if you look at the SWAT picture, I'm on it Wink

You mean "student"? Aside from the slight spelling mistake... Er, that seems to be a little... extravagant?

"To be as productive a co-op student as possible" perhaps? You could re-word it differently; you know what I mean.

I think I like the way he has it better. He's not saying that he wants to be the best, so it's not like he's making really big claims that are impossible to live up to. And "as best as possible", IMHO, sounds less ambitious.
