Executive Assistant Interviews

Executive Assistant Interview Questions

Like administrative assistants, executive assistants must demonstrate exceptional organizational, time management, and interpersonal skills. Executives are looking for candidates with impeccable written and oral abilities who can manage typical administrative software. Expect interviewers to ask how you would handle a variety of difficult situations, such as prioritizing multiple deadlines, working well in groups, and defusing irate people.

They asked dumb questions like, "what were your childhood dreams?", "why did you become an EA?," "If you could do anything what would you do?", etc. etc. And then LITERALLY didn't hire me because I told the truth that growing up and dreaming of being an EA wasn't my childhood. Heaven forbid I had dreams outside of whatever job pays my bills. LMAO as if anyone grows up being like, yes! I want to babysit a bunch of grown up idiots my entire life! Helpful tip: lie to this company to get a job. That's apparently what they want.
