Does this sentence make sense !? please help, I am applying for a job?

June 25th, 2010 | by admin |

I am also competent to use the Internet, Email, Microsoft Outlook, and Mail Merge.

It’s the word COMPETENT – I know what it means, but have I placed it properly in the sentence lmao thanks guys and gals xxx
oh, and this one please :

I am competent with Microsoft office 1997-2003 and Microsoft Office 2007.
Actually – scrap that last one to this :

I am competent with both Microsoft office 1997-2003 and the 2007 version.

I am a competent user of Microsoft Office (insert whatever programs), you don’t need the years they’re all virtually the same I think.

Or if you’re not particularly competent how about Experienced user of…

Don’t lie just in case they get you to do a test.

If you wanted to check your competence levels perhaps there may be something on bbc.bitesize website you could try??

    I prefer your version or you could use

    I am competent in the use of …

    Try to avoid using competent in successive sentences, you could substitute it with ‘ I am experienced in the use of … ‘, I have undergone training in the use of …’, ‘in previous employment I have used … ‘ for example.

    Good luck

    I am (also) an experienced Internet, Outlook and Mail Merge operative. (or operator)
    You don’t need the words ‘both’ ‘the’ in your last sentence; make ‘version’ versions. …. ‘I am competent
    with Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 versions.
