Walk me through your experience supporting department managers, staff, and customers.

Depending on your role, you may support a variety of individuals, including leaders of numerous departments, other employees, and even the hiring company's customers. The interviewer wants to see that you are capable of multi-tasking and juggling multiple admin-related responsibilities. Talk about your experience with handling a variety of tasks and expectations from a range of stakeholders.

"In my current position, I work at the front desk greeting customer over the phone and in person. At the same time, I perform tasks for my leadership team, which consists of the company owner, the CFO, and the Sales Manager. These tasks range from data entry, booking flights, arranging meetings, and running reports. In addition to this, I support a team of 35 employees, primarily made up of customer service and sales agents. I run reports for these employees, and I also answer preliminary human resource and payroll questions they may have. It's a lot of work to handle; however, I love learning new tasks, and I enjoy being kept busy."
