How to Answer

As you look to rate your ability as excellent to your interviewer, prove it by talking about all of the different programs you have worked on during your career and what your specific roles were on them.

Example Answer

"I consider myself very computer literate because of both my work history and my own personal use of many different programs. I am proficient in the entire Microsoft Office suite and am a go-to for colleagues on anything in Excel and PowerPoint. I also have a lot of experience in different point-of-sale programs and the Sage CRM program. In my current role, I trained myself on the point-of-sale program that I use and now train new staff on it, as well. If hired for this role, I would make mastering the systems I would be working in a top priority upon starting. I would soak in all in-person training and any online module training that I would be put through during my orientation. I would ask a lot of questions of my new colleagues to help me better understand how the program works from a big picture standpoint, as well."
