"I do value administrative support. But, I certainly do not need to overwhelm with all sorts of questions. I'm comfortable going to administration when I am selecting pieces for my concerts and when I am struggling with a student who I need extra assistance with."

I definitely love to have us on the same page but certainly do not want to overwhelm them and give them my problems. I definitely want to be able to solve them myself.

Marcie's Feedback

It's great that you like to handle administrative tasks on your own with minimal support. Given this is the area you cited as a weakness, it's important that you explain the methods and tools you use to handle these kinds of tasks successfully. Talk to the interviewer about how you plan to manage the administrative work that comes along with this role.
