Your objective is to gain specific names of the software programs and applications most used in this role.

Some companies may include this information in the job posting. If this information is provided to you already, you could say: 'I see in the job posting that you are looking for a candidate skilled in PowerPoint and various SAP modules. Could you share with me any other programs or applications that you use for managing workflow and client communication?'

If you have experience in programs such as Slack, Basecamp, or Trello, be sure to mention those. A best-case scenario is for the interviewer to give you the names of all programs and apps used in the role so that you can begin to learn them on your own time, shortening your training and onboarding time once hired. This type of initiative is rare and will make you a more competitive candidate.
