The interviewer is asking you to choose one favorite software that you use in your office duties. To best answer this question, you should not only be prepared to choose one single type of software but be able to articulate why it is your favorite and how it improves your workday.

Avoid choosing any software or products that automate or remove a majority of your workload. While it is great to use software to make your day more efficient, you do not want to rid yourself of this job opportunity or appear unwilling to work hard by suggesting to the interviewer that it can be done by a software system.

"My favorite business software is Slack. I like how easily it enables communication between members of the office. For example, I can quickly chat with an associate from my desk to see if they mind if someone steps into their office with a question or get a quick answer for someone who calls in. We don't all need to step away from our work or make small talk each time we need to consult with one another, little things which take time away from the workday."
