Best Answer:
I think it depends on the type of job that you are looking for. Some don't require any computer skills. However, if you are concerned about not having skills for a particular type of job, then take a class and note it in your application. If a job requires more computer skills than you have, an employer might still consider your application because you have a grasp of the basics or have some skills. He/she might figure that they can teach you what you need to know for the job.
On a personal note I worked for a place for seven years, and I kind of feel that I don't have all the skills that I should have either. I am taking a class here and there to make myself a more attractive job candidate. Also I plan on taking a few computer classes that are related to the kind of work that I see myself doing eventually.
