"I love team-based messaging applications because they allow for communications to happen in real-time, often with large groups of team members! I have utilized many of them with direct teams and remote teams. They are effective for updating communications and keeping on track with the progress of team-based work projects."

There are many options for communication software and messaging applications out there, and hopefully, you have experience with some of them. Give the interviewer a brief overview of the applications you are experienced in and assure them that you can learn the internal system at Air Canada, should it be new to you.

"While my campus doesn't have a specific campus-wide program that students utilize, I have experience with WhatsApp, Signal, and Slack. I used these for group projects, and they were great for staying updated on progress. I am very tech savvy and would be able to learn your system here at Air Canada very quickly."
