The idea was to mention what you do, but without us getting into some sort
of diploma-measuring contest.  I, for one, don't program in C, though the
vast majority of the Unix jobs I find in local ads refer to "unix admin"
as "C programmer".  If there's a benefit in mentioning three of your
skills from a prefab checklist, it would be easy enough to set up.
