When you´re job searching you usually want to look in industries that are growing so there can be opportunity to grow with the industry and the company. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2010, demand for many computer professionals will grow by more than 50%, including jobs such as database administrators, desktop publishers, and data communications analysts. There is a computer wage premium of 13-25% for people who are familiar with common software packages, such as Microsoft Office. Being well versed in technology will help you find positions in the growing industries of our economy and set you apart from the rest of the job hunters. Here are some tips to help set you apart:

Add Value. A great way to separate yourself is to demonstrate your skills during an interview. If you are applying to a job that requires heavy Microsoft Excel usage, ask the hiring person what their main challenge is with the job. If the question is reporting or data analysis you can easily tie in your Excel knowledge in how to fix their problems. If you can provide solutions during interviews then you will definitely separate yourself.

Keep the Skills Sharp. You want to make sure they are current and do not lose what they have learned. The best way to do this is to practice and take refresher courses on what´s new and what´s changed. These tips are a good starting point on how to be faster by using Office. The big points are to make sure you keep learning and practicing to get faster.

Get Comfortable with Technology. A lot of the information you need can be found by going to www.YouTube.com or www.Google.com and searching for the task you´re looking to learn. It´s always good to get multiple sources for your education. Just remember that these sites won´t be customized to your needs and may not be a comprehensive program. Be sure to learn how to apply what you´ve learned. Just because you can use software doesn´t mean you can use it correctly. You can drive a car but are you qualified to be a racecar driver?
