What employers look for
Data capturer adverts usually ask for Matric, fast and accurate typing, good computer skills in Excel and Word, attention to detail, confidentiality and the ability to meet daily or weekly capture targets. Many say "high typing speed" without giving a number. Put your tested speed and your accuracy on your CV.
Numbers to show
- Records captured a day
- Capturing accuracy
- Tested typing speed
- Daily or weekly targets met
- Documents checked against originals
- Backlogs cleared
- Systems you captured on
- Years of records digitised

Tips
- Take a free online typing test and write your result, for example "Typing speed: 50 words a minute".
- Name the system you captured on (a company system, Sage, SAP, a spreadsheet or database).
- If you have no experience, show your accuracy from courses or tests and any record-keeping you have done.
Questions people ask
- What typing speed should I write?
- Write the speed you can really do, tested. Adverts rarely state a number, so an honest tested figure is better than a guess.
- Does a data capturer need Excel?
- Most adverts ask for Excel or similar. Say how you use it: sorting, filters, formulas, lookups.
