Your friend Isobel tells you she is interviewing for an accounting job at the local university. When you remind her that she should learn all she can about the software and operating system the accounting department uses, she says, $"$I$\text{'}$m good. Windows has been the standard in the business world for more than twenty years. Even if I have to learn something new, I$\text{'}$m young. I$\text{'}$m tech$-$savvy." What is your best response to Isobel?

While Isobel seems to have a good understanding of the university's operating system, she should remember to ask the interviewer what kind of technical knowledge will be expected of her.

Since Isobel knows what operating system is used, she should familiarize herself with the software programs and apps most used in university accounting jobs. This will demonstrate a tech$-$savvy potential employee.

Since the Mac OS X is preferred in education, it is the one the university is most likely to use. Isobel should familiarize herself with it now and demonstrate her expertise at the interview.

While Windows is preferred by many businesses, the Mac OSX is preferred in education. Isobel should find out which system$($s$)$ the accounting employees use, learn as much as she can now, and show her potential employer how tech$-$savvy she can be$.$
