Office Administrator interview questions

Interviewer: Good afternoon, and thank you for coming in today. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your background?

Candidate: Hi, my name is Sarah and I have worked in administrative roles for the past 5 years. I have experience with managing calendars, arranging travel, organizing events and handling incoming phone calls and emails.

Interviewer: Great. Can you give me an example of a time when you had to prioritize multiple tasks and identify which ones required immediate attention?

Candidate: Sure, in my last job I had to schedule an urgent appointment for my boss with a client, while also organizing a team meeting and sorting through a backlog of emails. I prioritized the urgent appointment first, then scheduled the team meeting and worked through the backlog of emails in between.

Candidate: I would first prioritize the most urgent calls or emails and take care of them immediately. For the others, I would respond as soon as possible or schedule them for a later time if I am occupied with other tasks.
