At a recent job interview I was asked about my computer proficiency. One of the programs I mentioned was Excel. A member of the interview team then asked me "So you could create a new spreadsheet?". I probably gaped at her before replaying "Oh yes, I can do graphs, etc. I use Excel to do my budget at home."
Creating a new spreadsheet is not proficiency at Excel. It is one of the most basic things you can do. I immediately gathered that if I got the job, I would be living in the land of low expectations. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
