My experiences in Essential Computer Skills have fine tuned my understanding of Microsoft Excel. I can skillfuly utilize tools such as the “if" function and conditional formatting so as to enhance the presentation of data. Moreover, I can easily maneuver between tabs and quickly locate a particular feature; as a result, the time I spend using excel to create charts and graphs has decreased.
These skills will be useful in my economics courses. My economics professors often require me to break down large amounts of data and apply my findings to the principles learned in class. Specifically, I have been called upon to determine the levels of inflation and unemployment in a certain country through the analysis of wage levels and employment data. As I learn to apply this knowledge, I anticipate that my economics professors professors will be impressed with the accuracy and presentation of my findings and that I will distinguish myself from other students whose knowledge of excel spreadsheets is limited to their experiences in high school.
My knowledge of excel will also enhance my attractiveness to prospective employers as I will develop a reputation as a worker who quickly grasped the complexities of spreadsheet use.
Since this skill is in limited supply in the job market, firms place a high value on workers who can create professional charts and graphs. Therefore, I will probably be paid a higher wage than a worker who has a limited familarity with excel.
