Audra Kresinske is an educator with over 7 years experience teaching English and employment readiness skills.

As a student advisor and working on a college campus, you will be expected to know your way around a computer and be willing to learn the specific platforms and programs they use. The advising office likely uses specific software to track students, enroll them in classes, and organize schedules and credits earned. Express to the interviewer that you will catch on quickly to any required software with some training and be honest about your general computer skills.
