      Entry Level

      "I experienced a small amount of this during my internship. I helped the senior Administrative Officer to spellcheck and edit about 50 different documents ranging from office memos, policies, training manuals, and safety manuals. I am confident that these are tasks I could handle on my own in the near future."

      Answer Example

      "In my current role I spend at least one day per week reviewing the SOP's that need updating. Last year, in collaboration with my executive team, I created a list of processes that I believed needed anything from small updates to complete overhauls. I continue to work my way through this list. Once I have completed a project, I will send it to the appropriate stakeholders for editing and final approval."
