      "Updated Answer - I would choose Microsoft Office Excel to expand my basic knowledge to advanced skills and Microsoft PowerPoint to learn to create presentations. I also wouldn’t mind learning some Accounting such as Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. This would benefit me and would allow me to grow and gain new experience and would also benefit my employer because I would be able to take on new responsivities."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Can you explain why you want to learn more about Excel's functions and creating presentations in PowerPoint? How will this benefit you and your future employer? You might also mention any steps that you've already taken to start learning in these areas. Good job!
