When applying for a job, it's important to showcase your value to your prospective employer. Excel helps streamline your work, and that is valuable to an employer.
Personally, I use excel to carry data over from month to month, and year to year. Lists of information that is needed consistently but data is often changed. It is also and easy way to take a large of amount of data and sort it, organize, and detect trends. I use excel about 75% of my day as a payroll specialist, accounting technician, and human resources manager.

Learning how to use the basics of Excel can help you keep track of tasks, analyze data and more. But what will really help you bring value to an employer is understanding how much Excel is really capable of and learning how to use it to automate processes, tie files together and save hours and hours of time for a potential employer. Most people only scratch the surface. But the more you learn, the more it will help you be more efficient at whatever task you tackle.06/12/19
