Valérie Madesclair Sep 13, 2007:
Désolée d'insister, mais si vous consultez un dictionnaire, vous vous apercevrez que "paufiner" et "paufiné" n'existent pas. Une faute dans un CV peut écarter une candidature, d'où mon Désaccord. Merci de ne pas laisser cette faute dans le glossaire.
Valérie Madesclair Sep 13, 2007:
The correct spelling of this word is "peaufiner" with E
Mohamed Mehenoun Sep 13, 2007:
you're welcome...

connaissances pointues

Exemple pour un descriptif de poste : Avoir des connaissances générales en physico-chimie et des connaissances pointues en électrochimie et synthèse.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Not really the same thing: that would really translate 'in-depth knowledge' / I hear what you're saying, but I still think that, even in FR, there is an important distinction to be made between 'knowledge' and 'skills'

C'est vrai que ce n'est pas exactement la même chose, mais pour un CV il vaut peut-être mieux adapter un peu pour que ce soit compatible

compétences bien rodées

I don't know if you can actually say that in FR, but that's what I would understand as the meaning of the EN expression.
