Listing Technology Skills on Your Resume:
There seems to be a school of thought that it is no longer important to list your technical skills, especially the main stream skill (i.e. MS Office; Google Workspace, proficient in Windows and / or Mac) on your resume.
I take the opposite viewpoint. If the job description says "proficient in MS Office", then include it on the resume in your "Technology Snapshot". In this this case, the employer lists this for a reason - it is a requirement of the job. They do not want Apple or Google - centric users. The ATS will pick up MS Office. Therefore, do not roll your eyes and say "every 10 year old knows Microsoft products...", just include it on your resume so it gets acknowledged by the ATS.
