Question

Accepted Answer

In my previous job as an executive assistant at a local logistics firm, one of my daily tasks was to compile shipment reports using Excel and send them via Outlook. I had to not only create the report but also make it easy for my boss to read quickly, and I often had to search for delivery statuses online using the courier's tracking portals. I used Excel with simple formulas like SUM and VLOOKUP to consolidate data from three branches. I formatted the sheets with clear headers and color-coded overdue items. For internet navigation, I opened multiple browser tabs to cross-check tracking numbers from different couriers at once, bookmarking the tracking page for speed. My boss told me the reports saved her hours each week. Eventually, she trained me on more advanced Excel so I could automate parts of the report. My familiarity with browser tabs impressed the IT team when they saw how I multitasked.
