Thanks Mike,
Your response provides a neat and clear outline on how to assess skills
for a resume. At least for the purposes I was looking for.
The way I worded my comment about having the employer help me reach the
next level probably sounded less how I meant it. What I was really
meaning was that it would be great to work with skilled people who I could
ask questions of. Sort of Mentors rather than trainers. The sort of
people who could code review and observe there were better ways of doing
things or different ways. Not so much a full on training. Although now
I read what I wrote it both locations it could still come accross that
way.
Either way, I have a better idea how to write my resume to sell the
skills I have already.
Regards,
David

How much Python do you need to know (or how confident do you need to be
with Python) before you put it on your Resume. And how do you go about
explaining the level of skill you have with it.
At what point can you say to yourself "Yeah, I can put Python on my
resume. Theres a lot of features in python I can't do or Understand but
theres many other features I have used extensivly.
and I know where and how to look up stuff when necessary
I probably have
enough that a Python employer would be interested to help me reach to
the next level"
I'm a potential Python employer and I'm not interested in funding your growth
as a developer. However, if you are sufficiently competent to do the job in
the first place at the salary offered I am definitely interested in funding
your ongoing professional development on a shared basis. IOW your time
(mostly) and my resources such as courses, books, conferences etc. That is a
win-win for us both.
In my opinion, if you know how to discover stuff you are sufficiently
competent to hold down a junior position.
If you know where your weaknesses are you are sufficiently competent to hold
down a mid-line job.
If know where your weaknesses are *and* you also have problem-domain
experience *or* you are somewhat battle-hardened with a decent
wisdom-quotient you are sufficiently competent to hold down a senior job.
Cheers
