Listing skills learned from lab in CV.

Muhammed H

Is it sensible to list skills in your CV that you learned from lab?

For example, I am working with Linux server at home for the last 8 months and was following RHCSA topics as well as some advanced stuffs such as NFS, Apache servers. Not claiming that I have mastered on those stuffs but surely learned a lot.

In production environment, I didn't do much with Linux servers apart from installing OS and hand that over to the Linux engineers and taking backup (file system) from servers using Netbackup software.

So, shall I list those stuffs in my CV that I learned from doing lab?

I would list them as long as they are relevant to the job. If I were a hiring manager, I would take that to mean that this person is a self-starter and wants to learn and advance in his career.

I usually do it to show that I try to learn stuff on my own and I'm motivated. Even something as simple as me saying I deployed Splunk at my house is usually a nice conversation starter.
