Hi!

The skill of touch typing.I never had a keyboarding lesson as a student so I didn’t realize how essential it is until I got rejected from a job for failing the typing test. That day, I decided to learn. I used the program called Typesy to help me with the practice and even though I landed different job, it still helped me with my productivity and efficiency.
