Last minute decision

[Cjachter]

I decided to apply for a research assistantship which is typically for Phd seeking students. I am seeking a masters degree. The application is simple and I have answered all but one question. The question is using specific examples describe your skills for using technology. That question is super vague and as the application is due tonight. I am hoping someone could quickly help me answer this question without sounding like a sarcastic jerk. I keep thinking I use a computer every day to write papers and send emails. I don't have any extra skills to provide like coding or anything. how should I answer this without sounding either incompetent or sarcastic. The assistantship application is for a higher education assistantship. sorry for the last minute drop. but I didn't plan on applying as they typically go to Phd students.

So, depending on what you would be doing as part of the assistantship, you might say that you are proficient with various word-processing and text-editing software, or maybe that you're proficient with the online library tools at that school. If there is a component of video or sound editing or software specific to your field that you know how to use (e.g. R or SPSS), those are good to mention. If there is equipment that's used (projectors? whatever else is used in a classroom?) and you know how to use it, that's worth mentioning. Anything that could be useful for this position is fair game. If you don't think this position requires too much technology proficiency, then it's probably just a generic field that's part of the application because they use that system for all kinds of positions. I wouldn't worry about it.
