      Entry Level

      "I have not been in an administrative career for long, but I would say that my proudest career 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."

      Answer Example

      "My proudest moment as an administrator was when I caught a major typo in a financial document, that was 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!"

      Experienced

      "My managerial career has been full of a variety of wins. The greatest, I believe, was when I noticed that my junior administrator had become somewhat disengaged in her work. I took her out for lunch where she opened up and told me that she often felt lost in her day-to-day tasks. I took the next couple of weeks to re-train her on a few of our core activities. She was much happier after the re-training, and much more confident. The fact that she did not quit was very satisfying to me, and it saved the company a lot of funds and time by not having to re-hire and onboard someone new."
