It's for an office job without getting into too many specifics.

He didn't swear the entire interview. He was just recalling stories and experiences of when he was an umpire for softball and he had to deal with upset "customers". Dude just came out of nowhere with **** this and **** that.

Don't write on your resume that you know Microsoft Office. That's like telling me that you know how to use a telephone.

Is it? There are plenty of people that are woefully underskilled in that software suite.

I have no need for Excel. But I can do a masterful PP and know word.
But I still best at Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or a Page Layout program. Ya' know the more difficult programs. So why should I be able to know Excel? Beats me!

Excel is a fantastic piece of software. I use it quite a bit in my job as well as for some stuff at home.

Then don't put in the job requirements that the applicant needs to be proficient in Microsoft Office related products.

To be fair, there is a lot of variation in Excel skills. Just opening the shit and calculating a mortgage payment is far different than proficiency. There really aren't a lot of people proficient in excel unless they've taken some really high level classes or job experience. It really depends on the position.

Apples and oranges. Excel is strictly math. Powerpoint, Word, Illustrator, Photoshop and web development are decidedly NOT math.
