I’ve written four blog posts on interview questions specific to PAs, EAs and Administrative Assistants and they are all extremely popular so I thought I’d add another ten questions that I have been asked at various interviews over the years and my answers. In my next blog I will look at those dreaded scenario based questions.

In my previous blog I looked at some of the common questions interviewers ask and the answers I would give if I had an interview, the examples are personal to me but hopefully will help you think about how you structure your answers. I hate this question, it always reminds me of those awkward interviews on The Apprentice !

I’ve written two blog posts on interview questions specific to PAs, EAs and admin assistants and they have both proved to be very popular so I thought I’d add another ten questions that I have been asked at various interviews over the years and my answers for them. Use this question to really sell yourself.

Can you possibly write a blog piece on how to know the red flags/warning signs in an interview of a second assistant? She interviewed well! Interviews are tricky because no one will admit or see themselves as NOT a team player or admit to being difficult. She's awful and does not work well with the team. I was fooled!!
