Excel for work

Job listings are wishlists, describing the ideal candidate. If that person walks in, the job is theirs. If that person doesn't show up, the employers will pick the best who does apply. If you can convince them you know enough excel to learn more, and that you're a fast learner, go for it.

And between now and then, teach yourself excel

Most likely they need you to be able to use it as a spreadsheet. Just basic functions like lookups and pivot tables. Learn just a bit of vba to make your knowledge sound more impressive than it actually is.

Can you recommend where to start when learning Excel VBA? I know there's a lot out there but I want to know what is the most systematic way to learn it.

By examples. Try sample codes from the web and record your own macros and see what comes out. But a serious word of warning, learn as little as possible. Use it only for very simple automation. VBA is a HORRIBLE abomination. If you have programming knowledge, you will quickly come to hate it. If you don't, it's even worse, since VBA lets you do awful things that you never should do. If you learn VBA as your first language, you will learn it in such a bad way that it will make it difficult to learn real programming later, and you must unlearn it first.
