Brother the answer to your question couldn't be any specific as because different jobs asks for different level of computer efficiency and skills. Some ask for highly specialized knowledge whereas some required only basics. It's totally depends upon any individual's field, job, career, interest, requirements and so many other factors. Although there are some basic skills which are required in almost every job like;
Microsoft Office
Internet Skills
There is always something new to learn so always be open to new possibilities and changes.
Hope is the answer to your question.
Microsoft Office
Internet Skills
My friend have covereds same topic so i have just added in detail
Be computer literate.
Keep learning new ways to navigate the menus, keyboard and make full use of shortcuts. Shortcuts help to keep your hands on the keyboard, so you don't have to move your hand away to use the mouse which wastes time.
If possible, learn to touch type, type without looking at the keyboard but straight at the monitor as this also saves time and helps with the flow of typing words without stopping.
Main software to learn is WORD. Depending on your area of expertise and what is expected from you in your work, you could also learn Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook. Being able to communicate to a good standard on Outlook is important for emails which have become quite a dominate means of communication in the work place.
As long as you know how to use MS Office programs (MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) and know basic internet functions, It's more than enough. Other required programs you can learn tru trainings and self exploring.
It depends on career you belongs to, but basics you must know are;
1. Windows/ Linux or any other OS.
2. Office Package
3. Internet
4. Printting, Scanning etc.
MS Office and try to learn MS excel fully
1. Good typing skills2. MS OFFICE (MUST)3. Learn shortcuts ASAP
tell me what is your career and I'll tell you what are computer skills do you need..!!!
But in common you have to have MS office skills(Word, Excel, Power point, ...., internet).
