Admin Interview Questions and Answers - Robert Half
If you’re looking for a job in administration, be prepared to carry out a wide range of
tasks. This could include answering phones, filing documents, data entry, preparing
reports, organising meetings and much more.
If you’ve managed to secure yourself an interview, that’s great news! However, before
you turn up to your interview, make sure you are prepared. As well as re-reading the job
specifications, you should be doing your research on the business and industry, whilst
considering some of the questions you may get asked.
Consider some of the tools you use during your work, such as Google Docs to easily
share documents whilst managing version control, or tools such as Asana, to view
projects, manage tasks and set deadlines. Don’t forget to explain why you use each of
the tools and how you feel they could help you in this new role.
Make sure you have a strong answer ready, as this could really help put you in a good
position for securing the job. Think about whether you are proactive in your work, put in
extra time when needed, or bring additional skills to the job beyond administration.
Don’t forget to consider some of the more generic admin interview questions you may
get asked too, such as why you’re leaving your current role and why the interviewer
should choose you over other candidates. Remember to ensure you give relevant
examples of your capabilities to the job position you’re applying for.
