How to get good at Microsoft Office

Hey guys,

So I have an interview coming up in about a week and apparently I am going to be grilled hard on excel, power point and word.

I have above basic knowledge about all these platforms through my uses of them in college and such but I want to get better and be more advanced in all three.

So my question is what resource should I use to become more proficient in all three platforms. What is the best way that I should go about learning this?

Thank you guys in advance for your help

Find someone with data and watch what he does and try to play with some of the data on excel. Best way to learn is to actually get some data. create pivot, V and H lookup, its all very easy once someone can show you.

If you have no one to reach out to get on youtube or Mrexcel.com

 

use it.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
