The interviewer wants to ensure that your priorities are aligned with the companies' priorities. They ask this question to make sure that you have a good grasp of what the role entails with the understanding that there may be more niche needs specific to their team, company, or industry.

Choose one task for your answer. The interviewer asked you to choose a number one priority; this means that prioritization is likely important in the role! Show that you can prioritize. Provide some brief context to back up your answer as well.

Avoid asking the interviewer questions about their specific needs or the role before providing an answer. They have asked for you to answer based on a general understanding of the role. Requiring further explanation demonstrates either an inability to follow directions or a lack of understanding of the job.

"I think organization is a top priority for Office Administrators. Office Administrators often keep the entire office on track, ensure deadlines are met, and sometimes even pay the bills to keep the lights on! If Office Administrators are unorganized, unable to locate files, and do not keep up with important dates, the rest of the staff may find themselves unable to do their own jobs well!"
