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 and want to see that you tie your skills back to the posting. Also, share with them where you would like to grow your skills and what learning opportunities this position presents. As they say on their careers page, "Everyone, regardless of their career journey or background, belongs at Workday. Join us to grow your skills, deepen your connections, and have fun along the way." So communicating your capability is just as important as what you've accomplished.

"I rate my technical skills as a 9/10 as I am not always as savvy as I would like. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my ability to pick up new tech easily. I would say I'm strongest in Java and Python."

On a scale of 1-10, discuss your skills in their tech requirements. Avoid giving yourself a ten since nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as overly confident or averse to feedback and improvement. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a tech dud! Ideally, your rating should be 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!

"I would give myself a 7.5. Normally, I would give myself a ten when among my peers. However, I never take for granted how much more there is to learn. So considering my burning desire to grow professionally and how much I want to learn, I'll give myself some room to work towards my goals."

I would say a 7. I have technical abilites and exposure to various softwares, coding languages, and CRM's. But I know that there is always room to learn more, and I don't know everything. But I am a quick study, and hungry to learn more.
