What's the best way to describe your level of skill in particular technologies (languages, platforms, OS, ...) when polishing your CV ?
Assume we are talking about the short CV of the kind where you don't spell out every project and system you have worked on in the past, but still want the reader to get a general appreciation of how well you master each topic.
Can you suggest a set of labels which is unambiguous but sufficiently general to be understood across the industry?

There are four domains to language proficiency: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Language proficiency is measured for an individual by each language, such that the individual may be proficient in English and not proficient in another language.”
The six levels within the CEFR are A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. With these levels, you can easily work out your ability in around 40 different languages. The levels are often used casually by language learners to explain their ability at speaking, reading, writing and understanding a language.
As a hiring manager, I like it when people state how many years they used a language and when they last used it. Also, when describing projects you worked on, be sure to list what languages you used on each. It's frustrating to see someone with C++ (or any language) on their resume but not listed next to any projects.
