1. Your resume is YOUR marketing tool, not a personnel document.
2. It is about YOU the job hunter, not just about the jobs you’ve held.
3. It focuses on your future, not your past.
4. It emphasizes your accomplishments, not your past job duties or job descriptions.
5. It documents skills you enjoy using, not skills you used just because you had to.

Just because you have not been directly responsible for a particular job function in the past does not mean you don’t know how to manage it. This is more of a mindset than anything. 

Mention to the interviewer, though you were not directly responsible, that you understand it on a fundamental level and that you are looking forward to coming up to speed in this area and  being in a position where you will have a more active role with it.  Tell them things you have done to self-train in this area.  Employers love self-training and nothing says “go-getter” like self-training does.

Rarely, does any one candidate fit the job bill perfectly and an employer needs to make a decision on who they believe is the most capable, can hit the ground running and who is mostly likely to come up to speed the quickest. It also depends on what skills the employer feels are the most important to the job.   This is where your desire and ability to learn new things quickly comes into play. Show them by example, from past experience how you were able to take on new job responsibilities and challenges and master them.  Once you can convince them, by example,  that you are capable of quickly learning new things, you will minimize their concerns and it will no longer be an issue for them.  Basically, you just need to address the objection and show them it should not be a concern for them.
