		<description>Not a skill.

Unless you&#039;ve created your own social networking site (complete with html and all that fun stuff), I don&#039;t think it belongs on your resume. I think if it was on there, I would wonder about your other competencies, as I don&#039;t know anyone who is unskilled at social networking. If that’s the best thing you can say about yourself, you aren’t going to get the job.

Historically, would you have put &#039;socializing&#039; on your resume? Would you put &#039;talking on the phone&#039; or &#039;writing letters&#039; on your resume? The only place this might belong is in a section called &#039;interests,&#039; but I don&#039;t think that section belongs on a resume in the first place.</description>

		<description>Eh, I wouldn&#039;t really say it&#039;s a skill. Anyone can just go around randomly adding friends on these networks, and say they&#039;re great at it because look I have 1,000+ friends.</description>
