"I have not been in an admin career for long, but I would say that my proudest moment so far was completing my training ahead of schedule and earning a promotion very quickly, in my current role. I was not expecting to be recognized so fast for a job well done, but the extra diligence certainly paid off."

Think back to the times when you received a pat on the back, or public recognition for a job well done. Maybe you caught an error in some accounts payable data, and your actions saved the company a great deal of money. Perhaps you helped a frustrated employee by taking on some of their administrative tasks to alleviate their workload. There are many examples of what makes you a great Admin Assistant, so don't be afraid to brag about your excellent performance.

"My proudest moment as an Admin Assistant was when I caught a major typo in a document about to be released to our board. The typo was related to an important number regarding capital investments and would have had a lot of people shaking their heads. The CEO was incredibly thankful for my keen eye and proofreading abilities. So thankful that he gave me a paid Friday off!"
