“Our company only uses Macs. Are you Macintosh-proficient?”
Overview:
To many PC users, this may sound more like a nightmare than a realistic scenario. However, many businesses, educational institutions, and even informal places like Internet cafes are using Macintoshes. In today’s competitive job market and technology-filled world, people who cannot use both PCs and Macs are in danger of being left in the digital dust.
Declaring yourself “Macintosh proficient” does not require becoming an expert in the advanced inner workings of Macs or completing a lengthy training course. Proficiency simply includes being able to move around in the interface and locate programs, many of which operate similarly to PC versions. By overcoming some of the basic operational differences between Macs and PCs, PC users can feel confident about encountering Macintoshes in their professional and personal lives.
