[Coworker] and I were looking over resumes for a prospective new hire position today, and noticed that [coworker]'s most favored applicant so far listed - I shit you not - "Acrobat Reader" as one of his "computer experience" bullet points.

Wow. Acrobat Reader. You can double-click the PDF file and watch it open up in Reader, huh? HIRE THIS KID NOW!

the type of person who will toot their own horn about knowing something as basic as Adobe Reader is far more likely to get promoted well above his/her Peter Principle.

Dr. Peter said, "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." Is there some level at which people somehow become competent again?

Certainly not that I've seen, but my evidence is purely based on personal experience. :)
