When a hiring manager presents you with this question- they are not looking to know about your grades or specific courses you took in college. Instead, they are asking to find out whether or not you have made the connections between your studies and the professional role of being an editor. They want to see if you realize and value the practical connections between things learned in college and how you can utilize them in the workforce. Take this opportunity to talk about any academic activities you have done that you felt prepared you to work and internships that taught you about your field and real-life workplace skills.

"In college, I feel that I was well prepared for real-life situations and jobs. Difficult writing and composition courses taught me exceptional critical-thinking skills, how to have conviction, and how to think for myself. Through various creative writing courses, I have learned to express myself, make quick decisions to meet deadlines; and that high-quality results take hard work. Many of my internships have also allowed me to experience situations first hand and taught me how to work with team members to accomplish goals and meet deadlines."
