"While attending high school and my post-secondary studies, I was exposed to Word and PowerPoint nearly every day. I am strong in these programs and consider myself an advanced user. When it comes to the remaining suite of programs, I am happy to jump online and take a variety of tutorials on Access, OneNote, and Excel. Although I am a beginner-level user of those programs, I am confident in my ability to learn very fast. I am tech-savvy and diligent."

Microsoft Office suite is the overall name for Microsoft's business software. Chances are since you are applying to an Admin Assistant role, you have exposure to most of the MS Office suite which may include:
-Excel
-Access
-OneNote
-PowerPoint
-Outlook
-Word
Point out your specific strengths and rate your comfort level with the suite, overall. Your ranking might be from 1-10, or you could express your comfort level between beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert. There will always be new skills to learn within the MS Office suite, so be sure to leave room for growth and learning when you respond.

"My current company uses most of the MS Office suite, including Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. I consider myself to be an advanced user in the entire suite except for Access and OneNote. I rate my overall skills as an 8 out of 10 because I am tech-savvy and can perform higher-level tasks such as pivot tables and macros. There is still a lot to learn; however, especially tips and tricks in Excel."
