What are some must have programs you like to see on resumes of administrative/office staff?
What must one have to look good to employers? I want to get my skills sharpened if my current business doesn't take off but haven't been in administration for a few years.

It will vary by employer, but ours are now expected to be adept at Sharepoint, Powerpoint, Peoplesoft Financials for payroll processing, as well as Windows 7 and Office 2010.
It really depends on the employer as the previous poster said. I wouldn't want most of those in an admin. But I want expert knowledge word Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Google Docs, and Acrobat. I also want at least basic knowledge of Gantt charts, Photoshop, and Access. Quick Books knowledge is helpful but not required. And of course Windows and the ability to perform an Internet search.
Thanks, these posts are both helpful. I will try to get some tutorials on the ones I don't know and work on them in my down time.
Anything to make you a little more desirable over the average person is good.
