What was your level of Excel knowledge when you started your first job? I still feel like I’m not very proficient in Excel, despite my efforts to practice. Sometimes I wonder if I’m making things more complicated than they need to be. What’s the typical skill level for people just entering the workforce?

It’s totally normal to feel that way! When I started my first job, I knew the basics like data entry, simple formulas, and how to create a few charts. I was often overwhelmed by more advanced features, but over time, I learned a lot on the job and through practice.
The level of Excel knowledge varies a lot among new employees—some come in with decent skills from school or personal projects, while others are just starting out. What’s important is that you’re taking the initiative to practice and improve. Instead of aiming to master everything at once, try focusing on specific features or functions that will help with your current tasks.
You might find that breaking down your learning into smaller, manageable goals makes it less overwhelming. Online tutorials and courses can be super helpful too! Just remember, everyone starts somewhere, so be patient with yourself and keep practicing!
