Skills Employers Want #8 – Computer Software Knowledge

Proficiency with computer software programs is the eighth of the top ten skills employers are looking for. There are many computer software programs, and many resources for increasing skills. A printable outline of levels of proficiency in Microsoft Office programs is available at Concordia University (a five page pdf). There are also MS Office Skills Checklists at danarmishaw.com.

A good place to start is with basic knowledge of Microsoft Office programs like MS Word.
