Hi was originally told to remove excel, word, and ppt from my resume and just put MS Office, but then my school's resume counselor (who has given me tons of bad advice) said to take off MS Office and list out the programs because some HR screenings automatically search for excel as a keyword. Is this true?

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
The real answer is that you should have neither, because it is automatically assumed that you have Office proficiency.
I agree with roymondito. Bloomberg is better to put on there.

Yea i cringe when i see MS office under skills
