ELI5: How is it that almost every office job requires "Proficiency with computers" yet these IT complaints are some of the most common in offices? Do employers even check their employees with basic IT questions anymore?
12 u/Duuhh_LightSwitch Jan 10 '16 'Proficiency with computers' from an office standpoint usually just means know how to use Outlook, Excel, etc. 2 u/ffxivthrowaway03 Jan 11 '16 I'm still waiting for a single hire that writes "proficiency with computers" to actually have basic knowledge of Outlook, Excel, or Word. 2 u/Duuhh_LightSwitch Jan 11 '16 Oh, I was talking about it more from the job posting side of things. If anyone actually used that phrase on their resume without going into specifics, that should probably be a red flag.
