Akin Gump Computer Skills Section

[sebastianyatra]

Hi all,

For the Akin Gump VS app, there's a section which asks us to rate our computer skills (ranging from 'None' to 'Very good') and then to give details. I'm not sure what exactly they're looking for in this section. I don't have any coding or programming experience, but I know how to use Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc. How has anyone who's applied to Akin Gump interpreted this question?

That is perfectly fine - if you are proficient in Microsoft Office then I would state this try to use examples of when you have used each of these applications through past work/studies maybe and then give yourself the appropriate ranking.
