What type of data entry tasks were you required to complete at your last position?

It is common for an Admin Assistant to have data entry tasks. Data entry could include entering customer information in the company's CRM. It could mean entering sales data into Salesforce or updating financial data into an Excel spreadsheet. Share some examples of data entry tasks you have been responsible for in the past. Be sure to include details of the volume you handled, the type of data that it was, and where you entered the information. If possible, you should also speak to your level of accuracy.

"I have performed many data entry tasks over my eight-year admin career. These tasks include tracking payroll, paid days off, and overtime hours for our temporary employees. I also enter data such as vendor pricing and estimated shipping dates for a variety of supplies. I have a fast typing speed and am thorough, being sure to double-check my entries for accuracy. I also consider myself an advanced user of Excel."
