Generally better to get a certificate if you want to put it with your resume, than it is to list software you've learned on your own. Microsoft office and powerpoint aren't quite resume padders, no one is really hiring on the basis of proficiency in those because they are intuitive enough to learn on the job. Better to knock out a few free certificate programs online and insert the cert at the end of your resume if it's relevant to what you're applying for.



The thing is I don't care about this software:lol:. I need to work on things I enjoy more. I think putting down some of this software is good in terms of it showing I work well with basic computer stuff. I may never any of this software if I become a concierge, but I'd still be working with a computer.

I appreciate the advice.

I saw your edit and I agree on it being cliche. I read an article a while ago talking about employers don't like seeing "proficient in Microsoft Office Suite" or whatever because that is listed so much and not everybody who puts that actually is proficient. Thanks again.

If you want to add it add what you can do in it. Some bullshit like "record and manage metrics to aid in work management and recognize trends" or something. Ideally something job specific. "Able to present information in an intuitive manner for customers using Microsoft office."

It'd be alot more relevant in an interview where you can ask questions and see where you can apply your skills.

Pivot tables in excel are great and pretty easy to do. I can't tell you how many times I got a blank stare form my superiors until I put shit in a pivot table.

One of the first real jobs l got was making fliers in word. Pretty fliers. There are digital odd jobs you can apply for online but alot are scams and your main competition is people in India who work for 5c an hour.
Still if you just want to get your feet wet upwork and similar sites might be worth looking into.


Either way I'm happy you found what you need :cheers:

Learn conditional formatting, moving averages, trending, confidence levels, basic statistical functions (the ones that come pre-built in excel are often enough, and correct syntax for equations... websites like wolfram alpha might even put equations into excel friendly forms. How to make drop down menus etc.
