need to learn it all... quickly!
I've got a job interview for an office administration position in a week's
time. I've said that I'm familiar with all Microsoft Office applications which is a bit of an exaggeration as I have never really used Excel that much. I have been using the MSN tutorials online and I'm finding them very user-friendly, and easy to follow. However, there are almost forty different lessons and I won't have time to do them all. During my interview I have been told I will be sitting a 20 minute test on Excel... which of the lessons would you suggest as the most necessary to study?? Kind thanks.

So let me get this straight - first you lie about your ability/qualifications, then you come along here asking for help with
cheating to hide the lie. You've got a hide! -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "ziploc_chik" wrote in message ... I've got a job interview for an office administration position in a week's time.

ziploc_chik,
What you need is a little sincerity, once you fake that you got it made.

Oh please.... spare me. Everyone fibs a BIT on their resumé. I've taught
myself the basics of other Microsoft software in an evening. I'm sure Excel basics can't take more than a week. I'm a clever cookie. ;P "Don Guillett" wrote: Do you really think it fair to yourself or your employer to apply for a job you are unqualified for. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "ziploc_chik" wrote in message ...

No, not everyone, and those who do deserve to be caught. As it is, if you get away with it, you may well be denying someone more deserving than you a job and denying your prospective employer the services of someone who does have the ability & experience - and then costing them extra when they have to fire you and go through the recruitment expense all over again. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word]

You know, you are right, I've always wanted to be an airline pilot. Perhaps I
can tell them how good of a pilot I am, and they will hire me.... Sad thing is, if you go through temp agencies, they have the software setup so you can go in and actually train to use the software. -- John C "ziploc_chik" wrote: Oh please.... spare me.
