That's why so many workers and prospecti ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur e. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand . \;\nIn essence\, you can turn an entire department around just beca use you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view.&# 13\;\n \;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE: \;\nAdvanced functions and formula s \;\nLogical functions \;\nConditional functions \;\nFinancial functions \;\nText functions \;\nDate functions \;\nArray form ulas \;\nLookups and data tables \;\nUsing lookup functions \;\ nUsing MATCH and INDEX \;\nCreating data tables \;\nAdvanced data management \;\nValidating cell entries \;\nAdvanced filtering \ ;\nAdvanced charting \;\nChart formatting options \;\nCombination charts \;\nGraphical objects \;\nPivotTables and PivotCharts \; \nWorking with PivotTables \;\nRearranging PivotTables \;\nFormatt ing PivotTables \;\nPivotCharts \;\nExporting and Importing Data&# 13\;\nExporting and importing text files \;\nGetting external data 3\;\nAnalytical Tools \;\nGoal Seek \;\nScenarios \;\nMacros an d Visual Basic \;\nRunning and recording a macro \;\nWorking with VBA code \;\n \;\nBENEFITS \;\nNot only are many business profe ssionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workpla ce\, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision suppor t.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make be tter decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data analysi s and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular analytic t ool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\nThey are NOT seein g if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping when it c omes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They look for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditional Formatting\, Chartin g and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an employe r then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\, Pivot Table\, Filteri ng demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a poten tial barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resume. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! \;\n \;\nINC REASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL \;\nDid you know that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is cr itical. \;\nResearch shows job applicants who know MS Excel make $22. 66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight-hour w orkday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowing how to use a single c omputer program. Moreover\, full-time employees in certain industries ca n see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\,000 to $7\,000 per yea r based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ignore.&# 13\;\n \;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR? \;\nA majority 63 percent of tw enty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you stay orga nized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if you’re not spreadsheet -savvy? \;\nMany millennials simply want their first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you? The biggest complaint emp loyers have about millennials is that they lack basic hard and soft skil ls.These skills include things like teamwork and problem solving\, but a lso basic administrative skills like MS Word and Powerpoint. Once you’re hired\, you want to meet the basic requirements of your role without st ressing. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30 + years of advanced supply chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical consulting experience.

I was one of them. We sold Limeligh t Health for $92M. I lived in Silicon Valley for 20 years and have raise d over $100M from VC\, PE\, Angels and others and built multiple compani es. I got kicked out of high school my junior year and landed in Portlan d on my 17th birthday. \;\n \;\n​From the outside\, that’s the dre am. But what came after—burnout\, personal loss\, and a complete redefin ition of success—wasn’t in the pitch deck. In this talk\, I’ll share wha t it really takes to build something big\, what nearly dying on Mt. Shas ta taught me about leadership\, and why the emotional and mental toll of this work needs to be talked about. \;\n \;\n​Now\, I lead Zoë Fo undry\, a venture studio building three companies a year in the insuranc e and benefits space. We Raised our first $5M fund - And I’m doing it di fferently—intentionally\, with mental health and human sustainability at the core. With ~5.5M new businesses started each year and only ~35% sur viving a decade\, this is about more than exits—it’s about how we lead\, and who we are when the climb gets quiet. I also own a hair salon in do wntown Portland. (https://metromanhairsalon.com/ ). Passionate about the community and excited to be back!\n\nTags: Speaker Series\, Startup Wee k Portland 2025\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482013 URL:https://lu.ma/tnpjat0t SUMMARY:Jason T.
