Computer Skills That Can Help You Get Hired

One of the areas that personal tutors from Seniors Tech Servces can help you is moving from one job to another. We can help you identify the computer skills you will need for a new job and provide professional training to do the job. 

Here are some computer skills that are valued by employers in a wide variety of jobs: 

• Microsoft Office
• How to use a Printer
• Windows Operating System
• Video conferencing

Most workers who work in an office have some familiarity with Microsoft Word. However, individuals who can carry out mail merges, modify macro scripts, format documents expertly, and execute other complex functions are most highly valued and recruited.

Spreadsheets
Familiarity with spreadsheet programs, especially Microsoft Excel, is referenced in many job announcements and descriptions. Candidates who can create complex macros to organize spreadsheet information are in high demand in many sectors.
