TikTok assists users in becoming proficient in Excel and PowerPoint
Excel and PowerPoint are often cited as being exceedingly difficult by workers. Thankfully, TikTok is jam-packed with videos to assist users in comprehending the operations of these common office products, which many find scary.
About 30 years after its inception, Excel and PowerPoint are still extensively utilized in business, whether for creating spreadsheets or visual aids for meetings. However, it does not imply that everyone, particularly children, has mastered them. Even though they may assert on their resumes to have complete control of these tools, Millennial and Gen Z employees often report feeling uneasy utilizing them. They also hesitate to seek assistance from their more seasoned colleagues for fear of coming out as a novice in the industry.
Although the most cynical person could be tempted to interpret this as some kind of form of retribution, this dislike of Excel and PowerPoint is really a sign of “tech shame.” This idiom, which was created by the American computer and printer company HP, alludes to young workers’ apprehension of office supplies. Fortunately for them, there are solutions available for “tech shame”. TikTok, the preferred social network for young people, may be used to review IT abilities.
In fact, the site offers a significant selection of short video lessons that quickly explain how these two tools operate. They detail, among other things, how to construct flawless PowerPoint presentations that will persuade your manager to grant you a raise or how to automatically adjust the column width of an Excel spreadsheet to its content. The linked hashtags #Excel and #PowerPoint have received 8.3 and 4.9 billion views on TikTok, respectively, as evidence of their popularity.
Presentations and spreadsheets for everyone
Excel and PowerPoint courses are so well-liked on the site that some users have made a career out of producing just this kind of material. They impart their knowledge to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of fans who are eager to learn how to master the game. Examples include @miss.excel and @excel4thewin, the king and queen of Excel on TikTok in the English-speaking globe. Kat Norton, an American user who runs the @miss.excel account, has 929,700 followers as opposed to 503,800 for her rival @excel4thewin. She was able to start her own IT training business and charge between $297 and $397 for the chance to learn from her experience thanks to this remarkable network.
The gurus of PowerPoint, on the other hand, are @jacobppt, @lourrutia.ppt, and @marketer.s_diary. Similar to their Excel-savvy colleagues, these PowerPoint experts demonstrate to online users the different features of Microsoft’s program using efficient teaching techniques, and sometimes comedy.
True, PowerPoint serves more than just corporate purposes. It may be used to make slideshows for educational objectives as well as more intimate and enjoyable ones. In reality, TikTok users often use this program to create speeches intended to win back an ex-lover or persuade viewers that Ross is the finest character on the television series “Friends.” This kind of application demonstrates how difficult giving presentations, whether using PowerPoint or another format, can be.
