"I have been exposed to a variety of programs in my eight-year career as an animator. I would rate myself as an expert used in Flash, Photoshop, and Maya. If you don't mind sharing with me the programs you use here, I would be happy to elaborate on my level of exposure to those specific programs."

Your toolset should include one of the major animation tools such as Maya, 3DS Max, or Blender. Other popular animation tools used may include Photoshop, Unreal, MotionBuilder, After Affects, and potentially some knowledge of programming languages (C#, C, etc.) You are best to list your strongest areas and mention if you are an intermediate, advanced, or expert used in each.
Additionally, as an animator, you will need to show some level of experience or knowledge of other areas of this field like:
- Animation Aesthetics
- Acting
- Motion Capture
- Film/Game Production
- Film/Game Composition
- Visual Effects
- Video Editing
