Well, I would be very happy to be hired on the basis of my limited knowledge of assembly language as I very much enjoyed using it and I feel like this would be a great opportunity for me to spend more time with the subject. Possibly I posses the working knowledge in question then? Not "spend more time with the subject" - can you work somehow productively on it on your first day?
If not, then it's not yet 'working knowledge'. A knowledge of how to make something work without any deeper understanding of why it works, or of how to fix it if it breaks. Candidates must have a working knowledge of standard Windows applications. Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts descriptive knowledge , skills procedural knowledge , or objects acquaintance knowledge.
Within business and KM, two types of knowledge are usually defined, namely explicit and tacit knowledge. As we mentioned earlier, knowledge management considers two types of knowledge: explicit and tacit. Of course, every company in the world owns both explicit and tacit knowledge that is unique to that specific organization. Knowledge is defined as what is learned, understood or aware of.
An example of knowledge is learning the alphabet. An example of knowledge is having the ability to find a location. Knowledge enhances thinking in two ways. First, it helps you solve problems by freeing up space in your working memory.
But keep in mind that in much the same way, knowledge also improves the reasoning and critical thinking that students must do in history, literature, and other humanities classes.
According to Krathwohl , knowledge can be categorized into four types: 1 factual knowledge, 2 conceptual knowledge, 3 procedural knowledge, and 4 metacognitive knowledge. Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. If a candidate includes a working knowledge of x in the resume, I expect they can handle tasks to do with x, producing a substantially complete project. At first, they might be a bit slow, face challenges, ask questions, search for solutions, need supervision, etc. But that basic knowledge on the subject gives them the basis to acquire more organically and bear the main challenge of the task.
If you can work on x daily, even with little knowledge, you can include it in the resume and back it up with your experience. This translates into an intermediate level of knowledge. Working knowledge gives the employer the idea that this person has used this program or done this task more than a handful of times in the past.
Founder, SERP. I believe that candidates who have a working knowledge of specific topics should have the capacity to perform related tasks with little to no training needed. Otherwise, they cannot claim to have a working knowledge of the subject. The differences in semantics between working, advanced, and basic knowledge are apparent, yet many candidates still use them interchangeably. I have hired dozens of candidates over the years, so I know that these types of applicants are common in any industry.
As such, I tend to stray from resumes that solely declare working knowledge over specific topics. If you want to impress recruiters and c-level executives who share the same mindset as I do, attach a solid portfolio to your resume. Prove your expertise by showing definite proof detailing past learning events, reports, seminars, and projects. Doing so will already set you apart from thousands of other applicants.
Co-Founder, The Word Counter. The term can also mean that you have experience implementing this particular skill in the workplace, as opposed to just having a theoretical understanding of how the skill is used. Managing Director, Lolly Co. For example, working knowledge of Robotic Process Automation RPA may mean you understand the term, have seen it implemented and can talk about its benefits, and can suggest cases in which it would be deployed.
Working knowledge is more advanced than familiarity. Founder, One Search Pro. You have a fair understanding of the tool, and you have worked with it personally, but you are not a full-fledged expert yet. Your knowledge of that tool is still growing. Hypothetically, if you write that you have a working knowledge about a tool, you can exercise its basic functions without guidance. For example, if you have a working knowledge of a point-of-sale system, you can likely be an alright cashier. You can complete customer transactions and print your end-of-day reports.
However, you might not know how to fix the system when it malfunctions. Recruiter, ResumeLab. To me, as a recruiter, working knowledge indicates a level of familiarity with a process, program, or way of doing something. That is why it is essential to probe further and ascertain as to what extent they truly know this specific skill or capability.
Resumes are usually filled with different terms and phrases which are not very self-explanatory. One such term is working knowledge. Here is what it can mean in most cases:. When a candidate has mentioned a tool or software on their resume saying they have a working knowledge of it, they are referring to knowing what the tool does, without any deep understanding of it.
