5 data entry skills to put on your resume in 2024.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Communication and presentation skills remains the most essential skill set needed by knowledge ... [+] workers, especially in remote settings

Data entry professionals, and word processors and typists are ranked among the fastest declining occupations in 2024, plummeting by 38% and 25% respectively, according to data by the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics .

So do we still need data entry skills? And if so, why?

The answer is yes—but not in the way you might have imagined. Although data entry jobs are disappearing per se, the skills needed for them are essential foundations for most white-collar jobs. Additionally, some of the data-focused jobs that have emerged as in-demand in the past couple of years, such as data scientists and data analysts, require skills that, if included within your resume, would set you apart from other candidates and improve your chances of landing your desired role.

For example, adding a technical skill such as Python or Tableau to your resume demonstrates to employers that you are committed to ongoing professional development, as these go beyond the everyday typing skills that office workers are all familiar with.

This also increases the likelihood of your employer putting you forward for promotions, transferring to a new department or role for career progression, or even, in some instances, creating an entirely new position for you, relevant to the skills you have gained.

Trump vs. harris 2024 polls: harris leads by 2 points in latest survey, mega millions jackpot hits $740 million—here’s how much a winner could take home after taxes, data entry skills to include on your resume.

So, the question is, what data entry skills which are relevant and needed by employers today, should you put on your resume?

1. Communication And Presentation Skills

Out of all the skills in demand within the workforce today and especially amongst white-collar professionals, communication and presentation skills are one of the most essential. In fact, LinkedIn listed communication skills as being the number one needed skill in the workplace in its In-Demand Skills 2024 report .

Especially if you are aspiring towards leadership or management roles, you should highlight your ability to communicate information clearly and concisely, convey critical data and liaise effectively with stakeholders at multiple organizational levels, and also include any experience delivering reports and presentations in meetings.

Any experience you have in remote working will also prove advantageous because you can use this to demonstrate your skills in collaborating and sharing data with teams and clients using remote collaboration software.

2. CRM Skills

Another critical data entry skill to include in your resume is your familiarity and expertise level with CRM software. It could be a software that is industry-specific, (for example, Oracle Hospitality OPERA for hotels), or it could be Salesforce or another CRM. Gaining appropriate certifications in these software tools (for example, Salesforce Administrator) can boost your resume and you can add these to your skills and/or certificates section.

Add certifications for industry-specific software and CRMs to your resume

3. Data Analysis Skills

Data analysis is one of the most in-demand skills of 2024, being ranked as the number one most-needed technical skill by Springboard in their 2024 State of The Workforce Skills Gap report . Analytics was also included in LinkedIn's round-up of in-demand skills for this year.

Whether you work or desire to work directly in data analytics or not, it helps to have this listed on your resume, as data analysis skills can be an asset in several roles, such as:

• Digital marketing manager
• Social media marketing manager
• Social media marketing coordinator
• Sales manager/director
• UX/UI designer

4. Advanced Excel Skills

Whether your organization uses Google Sheets or Excel, having an advanced knowledge of Excel can be helpful to your career and align you with more job opportunities of listed on your resume. You can also include any advanced training or Microsoft Excel certifications you have received in your resume's certifications section as well.

With advanced Excel skills, you can take tables of data from a CRM and analyze them, create tables or other visual representations for report-writing and presentation purposes, and undertake analysis to recognize patterns, trends, and themes.

5. Critical Thinking Skills

Finally, adding critical thinking is another must-have skill to add to your resume. After all, being able to manage and input data is not enough if you don't know how to act on your analysis. Forming conclusions and making data-backed decisions from the array of data you have available, takes data entry skills to an entirely new level, and enables you to not only make sense of the data, but actually put it to good use and transform business operations—a skill needed in leadership and management roles.

Learning advanced Excel skills is useful, even if you use Sheets

If you can do all three—arrange and enter data, compare and analyze it, and form conclusions based on the data findings presented—you will be an asset to any employer. Including the above five skills on your resume, alongside examples of them in practice, will help you to secure your dream job.

History of Novosibirsk Oblast

Over thousands of years, the territory of the Novosibirsk region, due to its location on the border of natural zones and cultural regions (the Siberian taiga and the Eurasian steppe), played the role of a buffer zone or border zone of different peoples.

In the 13th-15th centuries, this land was the eastern outskirts of the Golden Horde. Later, until the end of the 16th century, it was part of the Siberian Khanate. In the 18th century, the territory of the present Novosibirsk region became part of the Russian Empire.

Despite the relatively favorable climate, the Russians began to settle here relatively late. The Barabin Tatars were the indigenous people. Today, their total population is about 10,000 people living mainly in the western parts of the region.

The Barabin Tatars were subjected to constant attacks of the Kalmyks (the Oyrates and Teleuts). Russian villages were also under the threat. That’s why people preferred to settle in the north, near Tomsk. Only at the end of the 17th century, Novosibirsk province became attractive to settlers.

More Historical Facts…

The first settlement was founded by the boyar son Alexey Kruglik in 1695. Later, this settlement became the village of Kruglikovo. Today, it is located in Bolotninsky district. In the early 18th century, Berdsky stockaded town was built. Over time, the threat from the nomads decreased and the number of settlers increased.

In 1722, the Siberian line of fortresses along the Irtysh River was constructed. The locals were mainly engaged in soil tilling, fishing and hunting. In the early 19th century, the famous Ural manufacturer Akinfiy Demidov constructed two copper melting plants here - Kolyvansky and Barnaulsky.

In 1893, due to the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the railway bridge across the Ob River, Alexandrovsky settlement was built (from 1895 - Novonikolayevsky). Thanks to its convenient geographical location (the Trans-Siberian Railway crossing the Ob River, transportation ways connecting Siberia with the European part of the Russian Empire), its trade importance grew rapidly. In 1909, Novonikolayevsk became a town. In 1925, it was renamed in Novosibirsk.

Before 1921, the territory of Novosibirsk oblast was part of Tomsk gubernia, from 1921 to 1925 - of Novonikolayevsk gubernia, from 1925 to 1930 - of Siberian krai, from 1930 to 1937 - of West Siberian krai. September 28, 1937, West Siberian krai was divided into Novosibirsk oblast and Altay krai. This date is considered the official date of the region formation.

Novosibirsk Oblast - Features

Novosibirsk Oblast is located in the south east of the East-Siberian Plain, in the steppe, forest-steppe and taiga zones, between the Ob and the Irtysh rivers. The length of the region from west to east - 642 km, from north to south - 444 km.

The southern part of Vasyugan swamp, the largest swamp in the world, occupies the territory in the north and north-west of the province. In the southwest, it borders with Pavlodar oblast of Kazakhstan.

There are about 3,000 lakes on the territory of the Novosibirsk region. The largest lakes are Chany, Ubinskoye, Sartlan. Novosibirsk Reservoir also known as “the Ob Sea” (1,082 sq. km.) was created for Novosibirsk Hydroelectric Power Plant.

The climate is continental. The average temperature in January ranges from minus 16 degrees Celsius in the south and minus 20 degrees Celsius in the north. The average temperature in July - plus 18-20 degrees Celsius.

The largest cities and towns are Novosibirsk (1,621,000), Berdsk (103,500), Iskitim (54,700), Kuybishev (43,000). Novosibirsk is one the largest industrial, transport, scientific, and cultural center of Russia, the third most populous city in the country after Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is also the capital of the Siberian Federal District.

In the historical part of Novosibirsk you can find a lot of preserved monuments of the Russian Empire times. The Soviet era is presented by numerous scientific and cultural attractions, as well as beautiful parks.

There are more than 500 deposits of various mineral resources in Novosibirsk Oblast (coal, refractory clay, peat, anthracite). Natural gas and oil fields are located in the north-western part of the region. There are significant reserves of underground thermal and mineral waters. Forests cover about 4 million hectares, more than 20% of the territory.

Novosibirsk Oblast is one of the most industrially developed regions in Siberia (metal processing and machine building, food, power engineering, non-ferrous metallurgy industries). Heavy industries are concentrated in Novosibirsk, Iskitim and Berdsk.

The regional agriculture specializes in the cultivation of grain, potatoes and vegetables. Dairy cattle breeding, poultry farming and beekeeping are developed. The production of flax plays an important role too. Agricultural development of the territory is not high (about 48%). In general, it has about 25% of all agricultural land in Western Siberia.
