Despite being a gamer and PC enthusiast since my preteens - I have never actually worked in any sort of IT role and something which has always put me off is the "Strong Excel/IT skills desirable" part in job ads.

What exactly is required? I can build PC's, troubleshoot most issues solo, have photoshop/3d modelling skills, good typing ability and know my way around a network but do not find any real need to use excel or the like so would probably seem quite dim if asked to use it.

A daft question really but has anyone else found themselves in this situation?
