I learned a lot by getting chucked into the deep end early at a job. Was given a busted model/spreadsheet-maze and had to fix it. In just a couple of hours I’d learned a lot of stuff!

And, while I get the icky sentiment, it’s really not bad at all. Excel is super simple, powerful, and useful 😃

So, maybe grab a workbook out there that does something moderately interesting and see if you can repurpose or modify it in some small way.

I wouldn't even know where to find one.

I've only just learnt today how to auto adjust the columns and use the sum lol.

I suppose it's different if you're in a scenario where you have to do something and you can just Google it on your way.

Unless you're sitting next to someone who you told in the interview that you knew how to use excel lolol.

This gives me an idea.

Don’t bother learning it now. Just lie on your resume and move on to the next steps 🧠 . You’re smart, and you’ll cram it in IF/WHEN you need it. It is easy, that much I can assure you

And hope no one can see my screen 😏

I think I've learnt some basics from a couple of videos just today lol. Enough to say that I know the basics without my cracking a smile during an interview 😏.

Have the problem is battling the thoughts of 'i literally don't give a fuck about this pointless job, just walk out the interview/don't even apply in the first place/ don't turn up to the interview' lolol
