Learn software and/or programming language.
- Excel, Word and PowerPoint are musts. But do not overestimate your knowledge on Excel. Knowing how to manage and analyze data is a very valuable skill for an economics major and it will make you a better job candidate if you master using spreadsheets and other statistical software. Consider enrolling in MIS-3300 where you dedicate a full semester learning important functions in these software.
- Other profession-relevant software includes Access, Tableu, Stata and Eviews. Excel is very useful and common but it has its limitations.
