GOOD IT SKILLS

GOOD IT SKILLS
Good IT skills are not only useful tools for researching and presenting your work, they also reduce stress, save time and save money.
Good IT skills are not only useful tools for researching and presenting your work, they also reduce stress, save time and save money.
- Good typing skills (including using the keyboard instead of your mouse) can save hours playing 'hunt and peck'
- Knowing the capabilities of your word processing program before you start enables you to format text quickly, saving hours of fiddling and tweaking
- Getting to know how your computer works puts you in control of your technology - not the other way round.
- Developing good searching skills on the internet (including knowing how to evaluate what you find) can speed up research by months
- Using the Internet to answer IT queries can save you large amounts of money spent on software guides and handbooks - and is often much more effective
- Using the internet to download trial versions of programs means you can "try before you buy" - or even use programs for free.
- Understanding file formats ensures that you can share information with others easily

welcome to IT computer skills
IT and computer skills are vital
because employers will expect current graduates to have IT skills as a matter
of course. In addition, employers will increasingly expect graduates to be
familiar with multiple platforms, and devices such as mobiles and tablets. Of
course this all depends very much on which industry you go into.
·
Most desk jobs will only need you to
know how to use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook) and a
handful of websites. However, even this might not be as straightforward as you
think, and each job has its own particular requirements.
·
For more computer-oriented roles you
may be required to know and be able to use one or even several programming
languages. In addition, you will be expected to know how to use a range of
software and online resources.
