Often, as a secretary, you will be the last person to see written forms of communication before they go out to clients and vendors. Double checking and proofreading are essential parts of a job well done. Assure the interviewer that you are diligent when it comes to submitting good, clean, work.

"I am so accustomed to working under pressure and tight deadlines from my time in University. Lack of proofreading would cost me precious marks, so I always proof before sending!"

"Spelling and grammatical errors are a pet peeve of mine. I will triple check my work if there is time! I feel that it is critical to submit error-free work."

"Yes, I do always double check my work before it goes out. It's important always to have professional communication. Rest assured, I will always submit excellent work."

Anonymous Answer

"Yes, I always double-check my work. Errors are a reflection of me and the organization. They can impact the organization financially, and they look unprofessional. As a professional, I always ensure that I put out quality work."
