As I’m applying for jobs (finance/consulting/etc) I’m looking to improve my less than stellar excel skills when I graduate in a few weeks. Any excel course recommendations?

The book “The Excel Bible” is great.

Glad you read it. Too many people these days don’t want to read. Not everything comes via a YouTube video.

Coursera has some good ones per my coworkers

The Corporate Finance Institute offers some great Excel courses for beginners and for more experienced users. Their Excel Fundamentals course is free, too.

YouTube is awesome for this stuff. Also Udemy but I think that costs money.

YouTube is phenomenal with stuff like this. You can spend a couple hours on there and feel like you just did a whole course.

Hi! Udemy offers a lot of courses that you can choose from. Youtube videos are also helpful.

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
