Somebody please help.

I just sent a resume to company that wanted, among other things,

"... process and productivity improvement, P&L and PC skills."

I look like a good fit other than the fact that I don't have a clue as
to what P&L stands for. Can anyone enlighten me before I make a fool out
of myself.

But is Paul a skill or a qualification ?

"Power and Light", meaning they need someone who can find the outlet
where the vacuum plugs in, and knows how to turn off the lights at
the end of the day.
