When someone wants to describe himself or another person as someone with many skills what words are best suitable:

experienced vs. proficient vs. competent

What are the differences?

Is one of the terms old-fashioned or exaggerated in a CV or only BritEng.?

experienced having the knowledge or skill that is necessary

proficient means skilled

competent means having the ability or skill needed

So they are the same

but proficent is stronger than competent if it is used in physical education or about body
