Job Interview -Passing test for Word & Excel

[allinmygrill]

I am going on a job interview & they stated that I need to take a test for
Word & Excel. I work on both of these applications but when Human Resources
give you a test it can be difficult. Can any one assist me in conquering
this test.

Sort of impossible to help you with the test since we have no idea what
the questions or tasks on the test are.

Best I can do is suggest you read Shauna Kelly's website, pick up copies
of Beth Melton, Stephanie Krieger and Bill Jelen's books and...do your
best.

There are many different tests so there's no single answer to this question.
I've taken several of them with contract agencies. (One day I took the test
with Agency 1, drove to Agency 2 and took a similar test.) The ones I took
were very basic. The hardest part for me was that I am accustomed to using a
right-click for some functions and they disable that.

If you are comfortable with the basics in Word (open, save, cut, paste,
insert table) and Excel (open, save, cut, paste, make a chart), you should
be fine. If you are applying for a job that is specifically looking for a
power user, you're going to have know a lot more than that though.
