"Skills" section on my resume

Lately, I have been studying for the 70-291 test. The main subjects the exam tests on are DNS, DHCP, RRAS, and networking in general. If I was to set up a lab, pass the exam, and get my MCSA, would I be able to put DNS, DHCP, and RRAS in the "Skills" section of my resume?

    I wouldn't put it in there at all. Once you have your MCSA, just list that as a cert you have acquired and it speaks for itself. No need in listing the things that the MCSA covers. It's redundant.

    I'd go for something like "Implement and Manager a Windows Server 2003 Infrastructure." I wouldn't get too granular.

    +1

    I have seen peoples resume with every protocol under the sun listed in a skills section. I'd just highlight major things like dynamik pointed out, but with a little better grammar icon_wink.gif
    An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

    I agree with Dynamik. If you put the actual protocols, you'd be implying you're skilled with the protocols and not necessarily their implementation within a specific OS.

    Finally, be sure to proof what you write and post it up here for critiques :D

    I kept laughing at that as I read each post quoting the same mistake... icon_lol.gif

    Like dynamic said, with the addition that if you're applying somewhere and they specifically mention in their advertisement needing someone who know RRAS, then you could make special mention of it
