Application form - evidence of Microsoft office

Hi all,
Im filling out an application form for a senior clerical officer and one of the essential criteria is to give evidence of “proficiency in the use of computer packages of Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook’

Ive not filled out an application form
for years. I’ve been in my current admin job for 10 years and use all the above applications well.

So I literally give examples of how I use each application? So I can use Excel to create pivot tables to collate data and formulas for calculations or do I have to be really specific?
I use pivot tables to collect data and forecast how we will manage blah blah budget?

I really don’t know how to reply to this question 🙈

Does it give any indication of how this is to be assessed? In my organisation we give a job description and person specification and the person spec shows how each competency will be assessed (application/interview/test/presentation etc).

If there are no details like that then I’d give examples of how you use each application that is relevant to the role and specify any formal training completed too (eg inhouse or external courses).

It says assessed by application form.
