Talk about the various administrative duties you are responsible for in your current job. Why are these duties important to the overall success of the training that you provide?
Success as a Corporate Trainer involves many different administrative duties that often aren't the most exciting or gratifying duties. Your interviewer wants to hear that you take them seriously and that you understand their importance in the overall process. Some of these duties can include scheduling training sessions, booking space to provide training, preparing training materials, and keeping attendance records of training sessions. As you discuss the administrative duties that you handle in your current role and talk about why they're important in your job, keep in mind what administrative duties you will be handling in this role are. Before your interview, try to do as much research as possible on this role so you can speak to your ability to handle all duties required in this job to impress your interviewer.
"In my current position, I am responsible for all aspects of staff training including administrative duties. When I am planning a staff training, I book rooms for the training to take place. If we do them in-house, I book through our Outlook calendar. At times, we will conduct training offsite, and I have to then work with local hotels or conference centers to schedule. I also am responsible for putting together all training materials. This can include printing materials for learners and even scheduling meals during training sessions. I take the administrative part of my duties very seriously because the fine details are often what determines the overall success of a training session for staff. To keep myself organized and on track with all of my necessary tasks, I have a checklist of items that I walk through with each training that I coordinate, and all administrative tasks are included on that checklist."
