Vent: Took me 3 job hops to learn you shouldn't list 'proficient in Excel' unless you know macros
I put 'advanced Excel' on my resume for 2 years and got grilled in an interview at a logistics firm in Columbus when they asked me to walk through a VLOOKUP. Turns out 'advanced' to me just meant making pretty charts and sorting columns. Why does nobody warn you that one vague word on your resume can get you totally exposed in front of a hiring manager?
