Learn the Microsoft Office skills recruiters care about for under $20
Here’s the thing: no hiring manager is going to be impressed when you claim that you’re proficient in Microsoft Office. That’s like saying that you know how to tie shoelaces or can distinguish left from right.
Oh, you know how to italicize a chunk of text and add transitions between slides? Congratulations, the rest of the population does, too.
When applying for a job in 2018, you’re already expected to know these things, and mentioning in your résumé something as generic as “fluency in Microsoft Office” suggests nothing but your aptitude for typing out a document.
If you truly want to flex, it’s better to list down the specific Office skills you’re actually good at. Maybe you know how to manage data using PivotTables like a boss. Perhaps you have encyclopedic knowledge on formula functions. Maybe you’re skilled at doing a mail merge with Word.
Of course, it goes without saying that you have to actually know how to do those things if you’re going to brag about them. You can’t simply bluff.
