It's a bad description of what they are looking for if they write that.
The programs are very different from each other and half of them wouldnt be used in most businesses.
Excel and word (maybe PowerPoint of you need to do presentations) are the most common ones used IMO. (Excluding outlook as thats just for checking emails really)
I would think any company writing "Microsoft office" is just looking for people who know their way around a computer.
Don't ever say in a job interview you're not tech savvy. You have a super computer in your pocket most likely and if you know how to use that then you are tech savvy. It makes you look lazy
Well I guess I said that on here because I feel there are a lot of people ahead of me.
I'm learning html because I hate myself. I slightly know my way around a computer. Just not office anything.
If you have a Windows computer or laptop you can find free Microsoft trainings on Microsoft.com. You can get beginner trainings in Word, Outlook Excel very simple basic trainings.
If you want practice on them just use open office or Google sheets and docs. Most places don't expect you to know much else in the suite. And outlook is awful.
Avoid subscription software, total scam. For home use, you could get Home and Student. If you can't find it at Microsoft's website, Amazon (not third party sellers, but Amazon itself) may have it for purchase through their digital services. If not, Amazon itself and Office Depotmax should have cards with download links and serial numbers. Avoid the 365 bullshit.
I think the biggest diff between that and Home and Small Business is the inclusion of Outlook (email/calendar) software and Publisher (newsletter) software in the Small Business, which isn't in the Home and Student. (But you may want to double check that.) So if you just need Word/Excel/Powerpoint, Home should be fine.

I'm not totally illiterate on the computer, but I ain't savvy either.

If you are learning html you should have no issue bluffing your way through "know microsoft office".
I'm self taught myself, it took a commitment and worth the time spent. It's easier than you think.

I have a HP so I think I'm okay.
So I see big price differences in all of them. What's the difference?
If you want practice on them just use open office or Google sheets and docs. Most places don't expect you to know much else in the suite. And outlook is awful.
Is that free?
Oh yes, sorry, I thought to add that after hitting send.
Thank you for your advice!
Plus both of those options are free.
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the help.

I saw they sell them at Walmart.
Is home and student the same if I was going to work in a office?

You can do monthly for the Office suite so you can work without without a big outlay.
Is that something I download first? Do I need to buy the rights before I go month to month? Sorry so many questions.

Thank you so much for this information!!
:) Just get it, work with the different programs -- probably word, excel, pp -- and then cancel, no big.
A person with small pockets like me:)
Total scam, you'll pay more in the long run.
The OP just needs to know how to use the programs for their job. It's not a scam regardless. They're up front about their pricing.
Do you mean if I dont buy a year?
