Question Answer
"Thank you for coming in today. Can you tell me a little bit about your experience as an administrative assistant?" "I have been working as an administrative assistant for the past three years. I started at a small law firm and then moved on to work for a non-profit organization. I've also completed a course on project management. In my previous roles, I have handled scheduling and coordination, expense tracking, and meeting arrangements, as well as assisted with creating and maintaining records and tracking systems."
"That's great to hear. Can you tell me about a time when you had to coordinate a project or event?" "Sure, I remember when I helped to plan a fundraising event for the non-profit I worked for. I was in charge of coordinating with vendors for catering, decorations, and a sound system. I also had to manage the budget for the event, and keep track of all the donations. I created a detailed schedule for the day-of, and handled all the necessary communication between volunteers, vendors and attendees. In the end, the event was a great success and we were able to raise more than our target funds."
"That sounds like you did a great job, Can you tell me about how you handle scheduling and calendar management?" "I use calendar applications like Google Calendar and Outlook to schedule appointments and meetings. I make sure to block off enough time for each meeting and add reminders for any deadlines or important tasks. I also coordinate with other team members to avoid scheduling conflicts. I always double check schedule and make sure to send calendar invites for appointments or meetings. And I am also familiar with time-zone difference, as I have scheduled meeting with people from different regions"
"Great. How do you handle confidential information?" "I have experience handling sensitive information and I understand the importance of discretion and confidentiality. I take necessary precautions to protect sensitive information such as password protecting files, and limiting access to specific people. I also understand the company's policies and procedures around data protection, and follow them rigorously."
"Thank you for sharing your experience and approach. Do you have any questions for us?" "Yes, can you tell me more about the company culture and the team I would be working with?"
