A word to label skills that are not mastered for resume?

I'm developing my resume and I have a long list of skills. I want to divide the section up into three sections. Skills I've mastered (I know everything there is to know about this skill), skills I'm proficient in (I know a lot, but I'm not perfect) and skills that I have some experience in but don't really know that much about. I need a word to label the third section(have minimal experience but don't know that much about) and can't think of one. Thanks in advanced.

    Use the word Exposures. Mastery; Proficiencies; Exposures.

    In some fields (such as IT) this is common and understood. Every skill won't be at a mastery level, and it can be good to show that you have at least been exposed to certain things that perhaps can be developed further.

    Unless you are developing an inventory of your skills, or you have established a relationship with a potential manager, and they have asked for it...it will do you no good. Breaking down what you can do is good for the soul and keeps you sharp. You can use this to your advantage by extracting what experience you have for the next job you apply to. But if you are marketing something like what you mentioned, cold...good luck.

    A resume should be positive. Don't mention what you don't know much about at all.
