Do you have to be good at math to do data entry?
Asked by blue_cow27
I suck at math, but I need a job and found one for Forms Clerk/Data Entry. Do you have to be good at math in order to do data entry? Any rude and insulting answers will be reported. I do not tolerate rude people. Thanks, I wasn't sure. I graduated from college last year and am having a hard time finding a job. I know different companies have different ideas for some positions, so I was just curious.

Best Answer:
No you don't have to excel at math it to data entry. data entry involves inputting information from one document to a computer data base. It can't hurt to take some classes to help you with math. I am sure you don't want to do data entry forever and if nothing else you will need to pass a math class to get a degree. Good Luck with the job.

I dont believe so since data entry is usually just entering numbers into a computer. Alot of typing recopying what you see.
