Describe your experience with legal and financial documents.
"While I don't have a lot of experience with financial and legal documents, I did have some exposure during my undergraduate studies. In my business class, we learned about financial documents, so I do know what they entail. Immediately upon assuming my role as a facility manager, I will dedicate my extra time to learning how to read financial statements and contracts."
Facility managers must know how to read financial statements and legal documents when working with contracts and managing budgets. Discuss your experience with these types of documents with the interviewer. If you don't have significant experience, you can also share any education you've had in this area.
"I have over five years of experience with financial and legal documents. I've been responsible for interpreting the information to make financially responsible decisions and have been told that I do a good job explaining information in a way that is easy to understand."
