Some of my job description, states "data entry". What exactly is this? is there a specific program?

Question

is there a specific "data entry" program? is it part of Office Suite? Is it on Windows XP? where and how can I practice this?

Answer 1

Data Entry is just typing information into a program. Very easy, very simple. If you can type with above average speed and don't mind having a job that requires you to do the same thing day after day, then its not a bad gig, provided you get payed a decent amount.

Answer 2

Data entry is usually entering data from paper documents into a database. The database will either be access with a GUI which will contain all the needed fields, or it will be an Oracle database, with a GUI. Sometimes it is in Excel (this is a rare case though). IF you can type and hit the tab key I think you can do it. Data entry is very basic. You just need to pay attention to what you are entering. IT can also be a little tedious if it's a large number of documents. I've done it.

Answer 3

Data entry means entering data.



(In other words, typing things in to the computer.)



There's no specific program. It's whatever program is used at your company. Generic numeric data will usually be kept in an Excel spreadsheet. Alphanumeric data could be stored in any type of program that your company finds convenient. They may use Microsoft Office applications, or they may have their own proprietary software.

Answer 4

You sit there for hours hunched over a keyboard - entering numbers into a data pad - like the number pad on the right of the keyboard - and occasionally looking up for a break. AND you must be accurate. You usually need anywhere from 10,000 KSPH or higher - keystrokes per hour - which is fast. (I have seen some data entry jobs asking for 18,000 KSPH)

A very boring job IMO.

Answer 5

no specific data entry program .., its like working on MS-Word or Excel sheet which are used to enter data and manipulate data

Answer 6

Sure, the 70s diet still supports sway. Low calorie, high fibre celery stop you snacking, and contains high levels of calcium which help to reduce the fat content in some other foods. Tip: Eat braised celery with roast chicken to negate this bird’s calorie content.

Answer 7

Go bland. Plain, simple, unseasoned food such as cooked chicken, plain rice and a undressed baked potato are nutritious but your palette will tire of them quickly, unlike salty moreish highly processed food, which keeps you snacking and piling on the pounds.

Answer 8

People who plan their weekly meals will be more successful at losing weight than those who don’t. Plan your dishes to add healthy carbs such as sweet potato and wholegrain pasta, greens and lean proteins, buy every one of the ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to consume out or order in.

Answer 9

Choose spinach over some other green veg: it packs in double the fibre to help you process fat more quickly.
