Best response would be someone who can explain their expertise in Excel by providing examples of formulas they are good at. E.g. I prefer using index match over vlook up because of x y z reason.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for.

My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
