Event Details

We want to distinguish your ability with excel from the 99% of people who put "Proficient in Excel" on their resume.

Synopsis:

One of the most common things you'll find on a resume is "Proficient In Excel" but just about everyone can put some numbers into columns and sum or average their totals. But how long did it take you? Would you be able to do with that extra time if you finished it in less time? What problems or projects could you solve or take on in your current role by just knowing a couple extra tricks? These are the questions that this class will help you address. It's time to get a refresh on your ability with excel....and for some the fresh part! 

*Covered content ranges from beginner to intermediate level difficulty*

"I am a bachelor graduate form the University of Akron specializing in Marketing. This is a subset within the University's Business Administration program. My course work focused heavily on the logistics and data analytics side of marketing rather than design. My first job out of college was as an e-commerce specialist where I lived in excel. I have now been at the GCNKAA for over two years where I use excel on a weekly basis. I pride my self on being highly curious and have always had an affinity for excel and the things you can do with it. I consider myself a life long learner and I am the person who has excel videos occasionally pop up on my tik-tok page and YouTube suggestions!"
