"Being a recent Business Administration graduate, I feel very confident in my ability to write and communicate clearly and professionally. When writing papers for school, I would submit them to my student union, who offered a free proof-reading service. Most of my papers came back with very few errors. I have a habit of double-checking my work before it goes out, as I do have a strong sense of pride in everything that I do."

Since you will be communicating in a professional business landscape, the interviewer needs to know that you will represent their company with the utmost professionalism. Perhaps you use tools like spell check or Grammarly to double-check all correspondence before it goes out. Maybe you have a strong educational background in language or business administration. Show the interviewer that you are a confident written communicator, whether that be writing client emails or internal memos.

"I am incredibly careful with the quality of my communication since, as the Administrative Assistant, I am often the first point of reference for our business. I use a few tools, such as spell check, Grammarly, and Yoast. These tools ensure that my formal written communication, such as emails and announcements, are clear, concise, and easy to understand. I speak the way that I write, which leans on the more formal side. I believe these action steps are important in a professional setting for gaining the trust of others."
