About this skill
Using Microsoft Office / Microsoft 365 applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams) to write documents, work with spreadsheets, manage email and share files.
For candidates
Be specific about Excel, since that is where levels differ most: lists and sums, or formulas such as lookups, pivot tables and charts. Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certificates are an optional way to prove it.
For employers
Say which applications and at what level, especially Excel. "Excel: pivot tables and lookups" helps candidates judge themselves; "advanced MS Office" does not.
How matching works
Matching is most reliable when both the profile and job listing use this same skill and any expected proficiency is set accurately.
