Walk me through a typical day in your most recent position.

When you walk the interviewer through a typical workday, you are allowing them to visualize you working in the position. From your answer, the interviewer should also be able to gauge if your activities match the requirements of their role. For instance, if you are interviewing for a senior Admin Assistant role, and you mention that you currently manage the schedule of two executives, they will likely conclude that you are qualified for their position level.

When responding, do your best to match the list of role responsibilities with the day-to-day activities in your current or most recent position.
Discuss your primary responsibilities, who you support, and what duties make up the bulk of your day.

"A typical day for me begins at 8 AM and ends around 6 PM. When I first arrive, I ensure that my executive is all set with the materials she needs for her meetings. I call all of her appointments to double confirm attendance. Then, I check my emails. Mid-morning, I start to take lunch orders for the group. In between, I answer calls, email inquiries, and file invoices. Before leaving for the day, I ensure that my executive's appointments are all set for the following day and that there are zero unanswered emails or voicemails. I have a great system to keep me organized and on task."
