The resume said Gates had expertise in operating systems structure, database management, compiler construction, and computer graphics.
Apart from this, in his experiences his proficiency in all the prominent programming languages from the yesteryears such as FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL, BASIC, etc., was mentioned.  Also, his resume said Gates had quite some experience as he worked as a systems programmer with TRW Systems Group in 1973 and earlier as a co-leader and co-partner on contract with Seattle's Lakaside School in 1972.

Netizens commented that Gates' resume is perfect and thanked him for sharing the nostalgic moment.
