Excel and PPT proficiency
Will be starting an internship in IB at a regional boutique soon and was wondering how long can it take one to become fully proficient in excel and ppt
I know there are loads of courses out there but which ones shall I prioritise ?
Any recommendations will be really appreciated , kind of lost rn
interested as well
I like the WSO ppt course but I know there are others that are good.
I would prioritize learning PPT. This isn’t to say that Excel is unimportant. You need to know both. But PPT is most likely what you will spend more time in and is more likely to be the work product that your client will see (at least more often then not).
Thanks ! Will check out the WSO course
Learned how to use excel using keyboard only as my first day as an intern. Just googled everything I wanted to do + “shortcut” and then you start to muscle memory it
Here are my two cents on PPT skills improvement:
(1) Go to Udemy and take a crash course in PPT. In here, sit through videos to show you what you don't know you don't know - it'll expand your universe of understanding with PPT.
(2) Go to Case Libraries for Universities and case studies/available PPTs by consulting firms (my go to is the Compenhagen Business School 24 Hour Case Competition Case Library) - you will see expertly drafted PPTs all in different styles in varying degrees of depth. This will give you an understanding of what professional PPTs look like.
(3) Give yourself long-form assignments. If it's IB, build a CIM from scratch, if it's Consulting, build a case study from scratch. Do this a few times from the research gathering, analytics to the PPT design. You'll learn how to apply the two above and also find your own preferences.
Thank you so much !!
Just force yourself to use shortcuts only and it shouldnt take you more than 3 days
