[QUOTE="DrSteve, post: 5794316, member: 590671"] I'm going to respectfully disagree with myself or, at least, clarify. Professors are indeed looking for special skill sets, which, if possessed, will help the applicant distinguish him/herself from the crowd. What you want to avoid is the laundry list approach, where the skill is not integrated with a meaningful activity. So, instead of a resume that looks like this... "Expertise includes [LIST] [*]C++ [*]ROOT [*]GEANT [*]RF techniques" [/LIST] ...I would strongly suggest that a sentence or so be devoted to particular instances where each expertise was demonstrated. For example, I developed a GEANT model that recorded coincident gamma, beta emissions from [SUP]136[/SUP]Xe in dodecahedron PMT array for radioxenon monitoring purposes. [/QUOTE]
