      Executive Assistant Interview

      Aug 24, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      The EA position I applied for was to support TWO VPs, one of which was for what was soon to be referred to as a "Super VP". After applying online through their website, I was contacted by a recruiting manager. I had an initial phone interview with her which covered why I was interested, would I relocate even if they wouldn't pay for it, and and even how i used the website. I had a second phone interview with the same recruiting manager, but also paired with the senior EA I'd be working under who asked me a few job-technical questions. Next, they flew me in for a face-to-face round, wherein I had 6 interviews in 4 hours. It was absolutely a marathon. I walked in at 12 and walked out at 4. I was spent and exhausted at the time. Interviews: #1 - Senior EA (again) - Several situational questions #2 - EA to another VP in the same division - Questions about how I function in the workplace, "how do you feel about eating lunch at your desk most of the time?" #3 - Recruiting Manager (again) - Questions pertained to my current salary, expectations and timeline should I be offered the position. #4 - The "Super VP" - Standard stuff: what are my strenghs, how would I handle..., etc. #5 - Another EA to another VP in the same division - standard questions regarding how I work with other EAs. #6 - The (regular) VP - "Where do you see yourself in a couple years", "what are your career goals", etc. There were a lot of repeat questions throughout the afternoon, so I tried to focus on remaining consistent regarding answers I gave to negative-type questions (i,e, weaknesses, mistakes), and providing varied answers for the positive-type questions (i.e. strengths, solution seeking) Overall, it was very draining and exhausting but REALLY good practice.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Very intense. 2 phone screens and 4 45 minute interviews, known as the loop. The recruiter prepared me with much detail about what to expect. If you prepare, you’ll be fine.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Went through phone screening and never heard back even after reaching out to recruiter. It was unusual since they are usually quick on notifying you. I've went through a few interviews with them in the past.
