You must be detail-oriented and have exceptional listening skills to take meeting minutes. It is essential that the highlights from the meeting are documented accurately, the information is organized, and you have the assertiveness to speak up in the meeting if clarification is needed. The interviewers would like to hear if you have experience with this task to determine if you have the skills necessary to perform this task if hired. Describe what experience you have while highlighting the necessary skills mentioned. If you do not have previous experience taking meeting minutes, assure the interviewers that you can perform this task as you have the skills to take accurate and formal meeting minutes.

"Yes, I have three years of experience taking meeting minutes for the company I am currently working for. We would have weekly staff meetings and monthly administrative meetings with stakeholders. I took minutes for almost every one of those meetings, except for when I was on holiday. I use a template that makes taking minutes quite easy, and the finished result is very professional and easy to read. My current managers have commended me on how well I listen during the meetings and how accurate my minutes are. I enjoy taking meeting minutes and look forward to continuing to do so with the NHS."
