X years in consulting is your certification

I think so. But I don’t really see what the use would be. A certification program cannot match the skills you develop with work experience. An interviewer will be far more impressed with an Excel-based solution you developed for a client than they would be with an Excel certificate.

Also, I think you can get far with a basic understanding of excel. Project management skills play a bigger role after you make manager.

MOS Expert exam for Excel (Microsoft office specialist). 3 levels of tests but you can skip to the last level if you’re confident in your abilities.

what's the 3 levels? i am only doing Expert one, but it doesn't even test SUMPRODUCT, INDIRECT, CSE array formulas, indexmatchmatch, etc. almost made me not want to take it, but i have availability, and want the rubber stamp.

Excel University with Jeff Lenning has some great classes online.several hours of CPE for fairly cheap and even considering myself a poet user, I learned a lot

There’s an official microsoft excel cert out there

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

This is the most basic question, so yep, I’m asking you to take it easy on me when you reply. I have been practicing for about 5 years total. I have been in civil practice for 2 years.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar.

However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
