Direct experience with the exact software or programs used at Stanley Black & Decker may not be a "must-have," but do take some time to find out which programs they use, and discover how your technical skills may be a match.
If specific technical skills are essential for the success of this role, the desired skills will be listed in the job description. Be sure to ask the interviewer if they want to see any specific technical skills. This question will allow you to overcome any objections the interviewer may have later regarding your exposure to their particular programs.
If you have the right experience: "I see from your job description that you are looking for experience in program X, Y, and Z. I have used all three of these programs for the past five years and would rate myself as an intermediate level user. Are there any other technical skills that you desire?"
