"While completing my admin certificate, I created numerous presentations in Keynote. During my recent internship at a local accounting firm, I created visual outlines for two client meetings. I am confident in my technical skills, and my research abilities are strong. These two skills together make me confident that I could take on this type of task inside of Keynote or PowerPoint without any issue."

As an Administrative Assistant, you may need to create presentations from scratch or update existing company materials. These presentations could be for internal or external meetings, events, and valuable company resources, so they need to be precise and engaging.
Talk to the interviewer about your experience with PowerPoint, Keynote, and any other programs used to create visual presentations. You can rank your comfort level from beginner, intermediate, advanced, or expert to give the interviewer an idea of your skill level.
