excellent advise Bob. Better to show off what you know than to wait for the
interviewer to probe for areas of ignorance.

I have never taken nor given an Excel test, but I would suggest that if you
know about

- functions (SUMIF, MATCHG, INDEX, VLOOKUP, etc.)
- graphs
- pivot tables
- number formats (currency, percentage, etc.)
- conditional formatting
- data validation
- sorting
- filtering
- Excel options (manual./automatic calculation, etc.)

to a reasonable level you will be okay. Beyond that is getting more than
competent. If it is specifically for Excel you may need more and also VBA,
but remember, as with all interviews, try and wrest the initiative, when
given a lead, take it and offer your knowledge and skills, don't wait to be
asked.

Good luck.

I have an excel test at an interview with a recruiter. I have been using
Excel for some time but need to know what kind of skills would the test
consist of. IF anyone has any relevant answers, please reply asap.
