Always review the job posting before the interview to familiarize yourself with the duties involved and preferred qualifications for the successful incumbent.

Answer this question by mentioning whether you have such experience to demonstrate you are indeed the perfect candidate for the job by virtue of your previous experience - and the company(ies) you worked for.

Should you not have such experience, emphasize you are a quick learner and that you have a willingness to train.
