List the ones that are relevant/specific for the job and your proficiency in them, show why you'd be good at the job.

You can add the others afterwards to show general proficiency if you wish.

Well ive put down im competent in microsoft office 2007 and a variety of other desktop applications eg adobe

Do you have any experience with photo-editing suites, DTP (eg. Publisher) or web design apps that you could put down?

Also, if you have any experience in specialist applications, it might be worth putting down. For instance, I'm proficient in a piece of software called Galaxy, which is used widely in libraries.

I guess they are trying to find out what you can do, without limiting responses to microsoft Office. So, what programs you would use with confidence to make letters, brochures, reports, spreadsheets etc.

Yes they basically want to see what programs i use, ill add some more to the application form
