Well... I know how to format a letter and a report. I can make a table, no problem. And I guess I like computers.

One skill that may be needed to do a paticular job would be knowing how to work with a computer. That may means typing a certian amount of words per minute, being able to run Microsoft Word, and maybe knowing how to use Excel.

ReplyDeleteI am learning keyboarding and word processing skills in keyboarding class right now. I also have communication and people skills from my part-time job.

one of the things i feel i am good at is formatting all of the different types of writing. I am a decent typer but I will most of the time always get the formatting right. not being able to format well, your just a step behind.
ReplyDeleteA list of my skills would be: I know how to use Microsoft, I'm taking keyboarding in hs, I can make tables/graphs, and I know how to type business, and personal, letters.

I can keyboard at 80 words per minute. I am a fast reader, and I know how to write business letters in the correct format. I've also learned how to make tables, write reports, and make them all in the proper format as well.
ReplyDeleteI am can format business letters, make a report, right an outline, and create tables. I'm also able to make a power point presentation.
ReplyDeleteI keyboard at about 40 words a minute. I'm improving a lot. In my key boarding class I've learned how to type letters and how to type correctly, like keeping my fingers on the home row.
ReplyDeleteWell to start my typing speed is ranging from 53-60 WPM on average. I also have very applicable social skills that I can use every day to solve problems. I have taken a class last year educating me in employability skills so I can nail the interviews and the resumes, resulting in me getting the job of my dreams--that is after I've worked my way up.
ReplyDeleteI can type at about 50 words per minute. I am also organized and good at solving problems. Since I am growing up in the age of technology, I am pretty good at dealing with computers in general as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of good at writing reports. But when it comes to typing, I got some good speed, but to me my speed isn't high enough. I'm also good at doing buisness letters as well. And I'm also really good at doing research on the Internet.

ReplyDeleteI am really good at being organized and keeping all my work in one area, so I don't lose it and I know were its located. I work well with others, unless if there people I dislike or get annoyed by.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I wouldn't want to mention my current keyboarding and computer skills, but for the sake of the blog, I guess I can generate a few laughs toward myself. As you can see my typing skills are quite below average at 28 wpm and my formatting skills with reports, tables, memos, and letters are, at best mediocre, but darn it I can sure search the internet like a pro!
ReplyDeleteI can type around 55 words per minute. I also know how to format a business letter and reports.

Well the hint you gave us is if your looking for a cubicle job. Honestly i think an employer would want to know ones strengths and weaknesses in a business setting. Wether they can keep their cool at some sort of board decision you know? for me I think i would make it in the business world because im a people person i can talk to like anyone and become their friend in a matter of minutes. i can handle situations that require a little insight you know to see through the obvious and make a clear decision or statment. And as far as your hints go if an employer was asking me those kind of questions id get up and walk away because im not spending my career in a little box, with a cup of coffee as my only friend. thats my 2 cents PEACE
ReplyDeleteI am very good at writing reports, business letters, and doing tables. I am a pretty fast keyboarder at about 55 words per minute. I am also pretty good when typing punctuation and numbers but not as good with symbols. I am also a very fast reader.
ReplyDeleteSome skills I have that I could mention in a job interview are: I am great at math, I can remember almost anything I see or hear, I cantype at 48 wpm, and I have a some what decent knowledge of formating documents. If I am focusing on something I won't get distracted very easily. I'm kind of a optimist but I can be mean if I am around someone who annoys me.
ReplyDeleteSkills that would make me a great employee (besides being a hard worker) includes typing at above and beyond 50 wpm and my knowledge of Microsoft Word. This extends but is not limited to business letter, reports, tables, outlines, and amazing internet research abilities. I am also great to work with because I am opptimistic and an enthusiastic worker. :)
ReplyDeleteI can type around 45-50 wpm pretty easily. Every once in awhile i will get up to about 55. Im good at writing reports and utlines too. Im good at researching about a specific topic and doing a report on it.
ReplyDeletei type really really really fast :)
