Hi Zoran, I agree that percentages doesn't give a concrete explanation of what is you knowledge.
When I was remaking my Cv I wanted to add skill bars but I was like "...java, OK I'm not beginner, but not expert either. Is this a 1/5 or 3/5?"
Then I thought what actually gives companies a sense of your skills is how many years you work in that technology. So I end up with the following skills bar:
Java # # # _ _
Sql # # # # _
.
.
.
And added a legend saying that the each # represents a year on that technology.
I kept the bar with a maximum of 5 so it appears that I have a fair amount of knowledge 😆.
Yeah, years of experience plus explanation are okay, but that's different than rating your knowledge 3/5. Just don't forget to update your bars when you reach 5 years. 😄
