[quote=Anonymous]Excel and powerpoint are pretty important for many entry level jobs as you may be putting together slide decks etc. Agree to just put "proficient" in those skills and no need to list the classes. I would also be prepared to deal with Lync/instant messaging. That was never big at my old job and it's big at the job I am at now. Just takes some adapting, no need for a class but you may want to talk to a trusted friend who works and just educate yourself on those types of common technologies companies are using. I'm annoyed because we are doing away with our phone systems and now will do calls from our computers....just stuff like that. It is not hard to learn but you may need to learn quickly in a new setting. Web-ex meetings are big too. Outlook is another big one. Very different than dealing with your gmail account. Again, no need for a class but most companies use this email platform. Good news is, all this stuff is pretty intuitive, just takes some getting used to.[/quote]
