MOS Certification

The talk among many office circles is how important certain certifications are in the work world. If you are a lawyer, for example, you would not be allowed to practice law until you have passed the bar exam in the state you wish to practice in. Other occupations have more gray areas. Since I teach people how to use computers, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss some certifications the typical professional may want to pursue. MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) is a certification that is low-cost and easy to obtain for many people. There are a number of courseware companies and testing centers throughout the world. With a littel research, you could get on the right track quickly. Successfully passing a MOS exam demonstrates your expertise in a particular program (ie. Excel). For a job seeker, anything you can do to stand apart from the crowd will definitely draw interest. As a small business owner, consultant or entrepreneur, any thing you can do to make your life more efficient will be helpful for your goals. But what is the benefit to a company who employs administrative professionals? Is the cost worth the benefit? That depends. Anyone who has spent hours working on a project that may be a bit above their area of expertise, knows the feeling. If you just had a few more skills, perhaps you could figure out why your formula isn't working so you could finish this project within a reasonable time frame. Instead, you feel like everyone knows you are spinning your wheels. Offering the resources for MOS certification, in, say, Excel, would help you, as a manager decide which staff member is up for the challenge of a fairly detailed Excel spreadsheet. You would be able to decide which staff members, who might show an aptitude for Excel, would be best suited for training and certification in that program. Then, when you have a project calling for those skills, you would know who could best perform the job without a lot of trial error. Using your resources in the most cost-effective and efficient way. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Real Estate Professionals

I may be coordinating a seminar program designed for real estate professionals. They are a diverse group in this area and I just found out the median age is 54. Many are resistant to technology. I am looking for some input from anyone out there who can shed some light on the quirks, needs, and current situation of contact management in this profession. Thanks for any help you can provide.
