Describe the office environment in which you best thrive.
"I look forward to experiencing my first office environment! When I think about what is important to me in a workplace, what comes to mind is working with people who support each other and lend a hand to the newer employees. I would like to work somewhere that I can freely ask questions and have frequent learning opportunities to grow as an Admin Assistant. Would you say that this describes your current office environment?"
The interviewer would like to know the type of office environment that you prefer. Be honest when you answer this question as there must be a two-way fit when accepting a new job opportunity. If you have received any cues related to the hiring company's workplace culture, be sure to reference those. You can also ask a question regarding their workplace culture.
"The office environment in which I thrive is friendly, full of problem-solvers, and encourages collaboration. I enjoy working is a cross-departmental environment because it allows me to learn from others. From the employee reviews that I have read, I believe that this describes your office environment very well. Is there any more insight you could provide me regarding this office's environment?"

I best thrive in an office environment where there is structure and communication. I am most fulfilled when I am busy throughout the day completing all my responsibilities and assisting the office staff in any way I can.
