      Administration Assistant Interview

      15 June 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at British Council

      Interview

      I got the invitation weeks after sending the resume and I was told that I passed the first round of interview. I was told to wear formal dress for that. There were two part of the interview, first was face to face conversation with the employers and the second part was to answer a few questions about admin on paper. The first part went fairly well, just some basic questions like: why do you apply for this position? What's your past work experience? The most difficult experience at your work. Tell us about an event that shows you are very detail-oriented. I honestly admitted that I had never worked as an admin assistant but I have related experience as a foreign affair assistant at school, and from my last internship at Disney English I got pretty familiar with communicating with clients. It went pretty good. It was important to be honest with your boss. And I got the offer a week after.
