The industry leader is still the Microsoft packages (ie: word, excel, powerpoint), however there are new options being incorporated, such as Open Office. This is a very similar package that is compatible. The reason for the increasing popularity is the fact that this software is offered free. If you are comfortable with Microsoft products, learning Open Office will be no problem.

Depends on what kind of office. The Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Access) is quite common, but many businesses have specialized software. In the field of law, for instance, you might encounter many different versions of case management software (Needles, ProLaw, many others), billing software (there are dozens of those programs, some designed for legal billing, some for medical billing, etc.) There is scheduling software used by medical/dental offices to keep track of appointments. Businesses that sell things have inventory-keeping software. Accounting firms have tax preparation software, and many other programs associated with book-keeping and calculations. Insurance companies have software designed to evaluate claims (Colossus is one). There are too many to list without knowing what kind of a job you're interested in.

It really depends on what you will be doing.
The whole office package might be used at some places but for most I would say Word and Excel are a good start, you could always learn PowerPoint and Access but they tend to be much less used in most environments. Publisher might be a good one to learn too.

Those are the two main ones. My daughter just took updates on those courses to go back to work after having her children. Her sister in law works for the government and she suggested those two..... another to try would be access.
good luck and happy job hunting.
