The first question you have to ask yourself is "Self do I have the right stuff." Do you have the right skills when it comes to computer training especially excel? Here are some facts that might be helpful to know:

• Juliet Schor, a Harvard Economist, did research showing that people today work 169 hours a year more than people did in 1969. You work on average 1 extra month a year than you would have in 1969.

• According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, people who know Microsoft Office and apply it correctly can make 10-25% more in their paychecks.

You work lots of hours, and you´re not getting paid to your full potential. But there is good news if you do want to learn Microsoft office skills and you don´t want to spend a fortune on training courses. California State University at Northridge showed that online classes are 20% more effective than traditional classes when it comes to learning.

Employers do not want you just to know the program; they want you to know how to use it to get a job done. This is where you have to be careful choosing the right training program. Every program will show you how to use the application but not many will show you how to apply it. Here is what that means:

How to Use Excel: Navigate the menu

How to apply Excel: Understand where to go in the menus for a new task you have not done before

How to Use Excel: Entering data into a sheet

How to apply Excel: Make the data presentable so you can use it to communicate thoughts, concepts, and information

How to Use Excel: How to enter formulas

How to apply Excel: How to use formals to reduce the amount of work you need to do and make changes easier in your spreadsheet

You can see that using an application like Excel is much different than applying it. It´s all about using the right tool for the right job. You wouldn´t use a jack hammer to open a walnut so make sure your education includes practical everyday usage of the software.
