How important are powerpoint and excel skills to the internship and getting a return offer?
Does anyone have any good methods for practicing before I get started this summer? I have a few weeks between the end of the school year and my internship start and I am starting to go stir crazy - I figured this could be a good use of time.

WSP PowerPoint course is solid

honestly just a good QAT setup
