First and foremost, whats your understanding of being proficient in excel
Re: When You Lie On Your Resume About Being Proficient In Excel by Nobody: 6:43pm On Apr 14, 2015
Microsoft Excel is the best software in the world. Underestimate the power of excel at your peril. I'm also guilty of this not until I took lessons on excel. mehn, with all what I know, am still not qualified to say I'm proficient. the best word to use is intermediate. Excel rocks, especially excel VBA.

My boss and I are both guilty of this. He knows somthings I don't know while I know somethings he doesn't know in Excel.

I'm actually still looking for the person that knows everything about Excel.

I could remember vividly. During my IT days with one foaming company, the Production Manager had to report with Excel format with some advanced graphical excel report.

Since he didn't know it, I approached him, showed him how excel is used, he was so surprised. Even the Indian man who he'll report to wasn't that good with excel. Had to teach them both. Thanks to Cisco!

Anytime, I see both of them, always feeling like a bozz. U know nah!.... grin

Tell me more about this "cisco" smiley

LOL! I had an interview in Prodeco Onne. The Indian Engineer needed someone, so he asked me if I know Excel, I told him yes. So he wrote down some mathematics( I don forget) and asked me can I solve it using excel with a pen, I wrote something down, he asked me if I was sure, I told him yes that he can bring his system lemme show him. We went to his system, I tried what I wrote, it didn't work. The right formula entered my brain immediately and I followed it and arrived at the answer.
He will get back to me and till now, I am still waiting (this happened in 2013)

LmaO. As a financial modeller, excel is an app I can't do Without. Almost 90 percent of Nigerian graduates cannot use excel properly. Its not really a friendly app like the other in the office suite but I see it as the most important.

How can you be of help...I really need to learn about Excel....

lol. Sorry Op. It happened to me back in d days oh. This same Excel; was asked to plot graphs with provided sets of values.

Was not funny oh, but did very well in other aspects. The Salary offer was just 20k above what I was earning then but now in a more expensive city where 2 bedroom apartment cost twice more than where I was.

I turned it down off course. Ur post really got me laffing; shame on me. Infact, the German Woman so loved my performance in other tasks, she helped me in the excel challenge.

When you so Cisco courses its for either

CCNA - Cisco Certified Network Associate
CCNP - Cisco Certified Network Professional
CCIE - Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert or
CCSA- Cisco Certified Sales sumtin i dunno
