The interviewer asks this question to see if you are experienced using Microsoft Office Suite and the different programs that come with it. As a Construction Superintendent, you will need to use Excel spreadsheets, write reports using Microsoft Word, create presentations using PowerPoint, send emails using Microsoft Outlook, and use OneNote for notetaking and collaborating with others. The interviewer wants to hear that you are competent with all aspects of Microsoft Office Suite.

Focus on the programs you are most familiar with. Explain your competency level and how long you have been using Microsoft Office Suite. If you have a certification in any of the Microsoft programs, be sure to mention that, highlighting your advanced skill level.

Avoid saying you do not know how to use Microsoft Office Suite. If using this program is one of the job requirements, it should have been mentioned in the job announcement. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Office Suite, it is best to research and learn how to use the programs before your interview.
