Hi,
I've been on the IBD desk now for a few months but I am still finding tasks on Powerpoint and Excel that should really take 1 hour actually take me a lot longer beacuse of my weak computer skills.
Does anyone know of any books, tuition courses, computer programs that I could use so that I can develop my computer skills further in spare time?
Any advice much appreciated,
Thanks






Did they not train you in
Did they not train you in Excel?
Pick up a book at Borders or
Pick up a book at Borders or B&N on excel skills. Also, there are some good youtube tutorials on how to use some of excel's more powerful features.
With powerpoint, take some time to mess around to figure out how to make things look nice. The new version of ppt has some auto graphics features and a better color palette, so even if you're not all that good, it can make your presentation look pretty nice.
How long have you been using
How long have you been using the programs for? It is a steep learning curve but the tasks get easier with every attempt.
