Office Administrator Interview Questions

I said I was interested in more training and advanced excel. They said that they were all in Various trainings and would be happy to help place me in the right track.

no clue.

Time to look for another job

unemployment?

I asked if I get to plan the parties and apparently the planning privilege is that of another person and the office administrator is their shopper. Which tells me other posts about favoritism are true. It's nice to be treated to a happy hour, but for that to be the norm in their world, it just reeks of ALCOHOLISM and it was a bit telling of the environment of Booking.com.

They give a big title but you're more of a slave than anything else. "Wash the dishes, lift the boxes, why is this box there, why is the milk frozen, why is there so much milk..." This list goes on an on. Think of this job as the monitor to clean up after filthy college kids. Believe me I know I was the last one to have this job. Sure they will lie and say it's perm and then once you are there, you will find out you have to interview for the job and compete against people who are not working there. Save yourself! It's NOT WORTH IT. The pay, the people, the atmosphere is a joke. Not to mention the worthless admin calls every other week. You would have more fun picking your nose then having to listen to clueless admins that still don't know their job.

While we do have the occasional party and the Office Admin may be involved with planning or shopping from time to time, we do not offer alcohol in the office nor do we ever ask an employee to purchase alcohol.

The interviews were easy, but they gave me very minimal insight as to what the job truly entailed, which was very disappointing.

Did you have to take MSoffice test? If yes what was your score?

No

Purchase Orders, Approval Process, Accounting Logs, Etc. Basic Accounting information will be plenty.

Honestly, I don't know. We don't know what will happen from one hour to the next. Nothing is certain. But what I do know, is that wherever it takes me, I will be successful and I will always put forth my best efforts. I can not, and do not accept failure.
