How well do you know SAP?

Overall, the experience was somewhat challenging. Neither of the two C-levels who needed a support person/assistant had previously had an assistant. The company basically used the CEO's assistant for everything/anything they needed. The point being that they weren't really sure what they wanted from their soon-to-be-hired EA except to manage travel - which was a very big deal. The guys seemed very nice but too busy to pay attention to the interview process. One gentleman was texting and checking his phone, and the other seemed distracted generally which made me feel like I had to keep talking to keep the interview moving. About 15 minutes into the interview one of the C's stood, apologized, and left abruptly. He seemed very busy and didn't have much time for the interview process. They were very nice, but I didn't feel the chemistry that would lead to a positive work experience. I'm sure they found someone awesome to fill this support role.

no difficult questions

Being in the hotel industry has been a desire of mine for many years, so I believe being within the environment would be very enjoyable. Also, I find great enjoyment in my volunteer activities which would offset any concerns about being overqualified.

That's rather harsh. Life circumstances arose, and I had to take a leave of absence that required I start working and leave graduate school.
