6. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your technical abilities?
How to Answer
At FedEx, you will be expected to respond quickly and efficiently through a variety of computer programs. The interviewer would like to know how you rate your technical skills. Likely, they will mention specific tech skills in the job posting or job description.
First, on a scale of 1-10, discuss how skilled are you in their tech requirements. Try to avoid giving yourself a 10, since nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as overly confident or someone who has no room for feedback and improvement. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a tech dud! Try to remain in the 7.5-9.5 range while staying honest and accurate. Be sure to list which programs, apps, or systems in which you shine!

1st Answer Example
"I rate my technical skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as savvy as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my ability to pick up new tech very easily. I would say I'm strongest in GPS Tracking Software an most CRM platforms."
