"I have used just the basics in Microsoft 2016, including Word and Outlook. For that reason, I would describe myself as a beginner-to-intermediate level and rate myself as a 6 out of 10. I am a very fast learner and have already subscribed to a few YouTube channels dedicated to learning this suite of programs."

"I have trained other employees over many years on tips, tricks, and shortcuts in Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Currently, my office uses Microsoft Office 2013, but I do have 2016 at home. I would rate myself as a 9/10 in most of the applications."

Your answer to this question can be short and sweet. Chances are since you are applying to an administrator role that you have exposure to the Microsoft Office Suite.
Included in Microsoft Office Suite may be:
-Excel
-Access
-OneNote
-PowerPoint
-Outlook
-Publisher
-Word
Rate your skills from 1-10 with 10 being an expert and 1 being no exposure at all. There is almost always something to learn so unless you are teaching a program at a University level, chances are you have not achieved a 10 in any of these programs. Point out your areas of strength and discuss your willingness to become stronger in this suite of applications.

"My current company uses Office 2016, and I have been working with most of the applications for a year or so. I would rate my overall skills as an 8-10 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."
