      Executive Assistant Interview

      28 Dec 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      No offer
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (New York, NY)

      Interview

      My interview process was stepped up due to timing issues. I interviewed with the full team and HR in the same day. Lots of smart, nice people here at Yahoo in Sunnyvale.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do I work with other people
      Answer question
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Aug 2013

      Interview

      I was looking for an EA position and a recruiter sent my resume to Yahoo. They liked me and I started the interview process by phone. I passed the phone screen and was invited to the campus. I was very excited as I use Yahoo. The first person I met was another EA and the interview went well. Her and I both had many years experience in our field so I was able to answer most questions with ease. I was asked ti return the next day and interview with the new head in the Sales/Marketing department as he was looking for an EA. That interview was a little stale and I end up not getting that position but was asked to return two days later as they were hiring for other EA positions within the company. The next time I arrived for interviews, I was told that I was going to meet with multiple Executive Assistants from various departments. After each 1 on 1 interview if the person liked me I would meet with another EA and so forth. The interviews were to be on the shorter side, no longer than 30 minutes each. I met with the first EA and thought I was doing fine after she asked me four questions but she suddenly and abruptly said the interview was over and that I should wait until the next person comes in to meet with me. I sat in a room for an hour and no one came in. I emailed my recruiter and asked her what I should do and she didn't respond. A couple of minutes later the interview coordinator walked in and said I wasn't a good fit and walked me out. I don't understand why I was left in a room for an hour, felt like I was discarded once the one EA didn't like me. That it self is a mystery as why she was so swift and abrupt being that I passed four interviews just to be there. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and reflects badly on Yahoo. Worst interview experience ever.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      From the prospective of an experienced EA, Yahoo did not ask difficult questions.
