How to get a data entry job that uses Excel?

While the minimum qualifications for a data entry Excel expert include extensive knowledge of Excel and other Microsoft products, they do not generally include postsecondary degrees. Experience in data entry or a corporate environment is valuable and can set you ahead of other job seekers. Some companies require you to learn their record management or database system in addition to providing spreadsheet knowledge, meaning you should be willing and able to learn new systems and processes. You need excellent typing skills, the ability to work alone and as part of a team, and confidence working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
