44. COMPUTER SKILLS…. “I had a co-op job 10 years ago out of high school, during the interview the guy asked how I was with Excel, I said I could do it but wasn't an expert. I figured this was a somewhat honest answer as I had used it a bit in class but never in a work setting. Well, let me re-iterate, I sucked at it. I got the job and since it was admin based it revolved around excel. What I WAS proficient at was using google to find out how to find out how to do specific excel tasks and thats what I did, but you can only get away with that for so long. One time he was looking over my shoulder and asked me to quickly do something (whatever it was) and I took the long way around doing it. The guy just about had a bird right then and there. "OMG thats not how you do that!" Then ran straight to the big boss and ratted me out for saying I knew how to use excel in the interview. I got called into there a couple days later and was told I needed to learn how to use it. I bought the excel books and learned. Between that, and using it everyday I became very good at it but the problem is I havent used it since and have pretty much forgotten how to use it.” “At my last job, people who said they were "Good with Excel" were given a test prior to being hired. 80% of everyone who took it couldn't pass itand were eliminated on the spot!”
