Office Manager Interview Questions

Some of the easer ones to remember: Peace Martin Luther King, Jr., 1964; Mother Teresa, 1979; Desmond Tutu, 1984; Jimmy Carter, 2002; Al Gore, 2007; Barack Obama, 2009 Physics Madame Curie, 1903; Albert Einstein, 1921 Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates#Laureates

Adolf Hitler never won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Richard Feinemen, Milton Freidman, Oram Pamut

Obama, Obama, Obama. Did I mention Obama. If not, he'll tell you all about it.

I don't care what awards they won, they'd better have turned in their expense reports for the trip to Sweden on time.

Would that be the Nobel Prize for outstanding work in the fields of peace, science, etc., or the Nobel Prize for outstanding work in the field of snake handling? Sure one gets all the press but the other gets all the girls down in the holler where I come from. I'm just saying, my cousin's friend's daddy Leroy, he won it three times. He's pretty much the best snake handler I know. Does that count?

Einstein, Al Gore, Mother Teresa would you like me to mention any more?

You really need to think about what your answer to this communicates. If you answer MLK, Desmond Tutu, and Mother Theresa, you have communicated something to your interviewer that's different than if you answer Paul Samuelson, Milton Friedman, and Paul Krugman. It's a very clever question. The candidate is tricked into thinking that his knowledge is being tested, when the interviewer is really trying to figure out what the candidate thinks is important in life.

Yes, which category?

I only remember two persons.. Albert Einstein and William Faulkner..

I'd play an old debate/political trick and change the topic of the discussion by saying something like: "That's a challenging question. Did you know the Nobel prizes were created by Alfred Nobel? A man who made a great fortune from armaments manufacturing and inventing dynamite? The means of his fortune weighed so heavily on him, he thought at his old age that he would only be remembered for war, munitions, and all the devastation his inventions and manufacturing caused. So he set about making a different name for himself. He drafted a new will that outlined the Nobel Prize process, and laureate rewards that accompany them. It's amazing that the name Nobel, once closely connected to the inventor of dynamite, an explosive used in untold millions of munitions, is now perhaps most famously recognized in the term "Nobel Peace Prize". That he changed the connection of his namesake from war to peace is truly incredible. And that his legacy has such long lasting, positive impact on world politics, science, and medicine. Wouldn't you agree?"

Pablo Neruda, Malala, and the Red Cross. Demonstrate that you have varied interests by choosing different categories.

It is basically a sales job. the office managers job is to make sure the office meets each mths budget. Budget is set by the corporation and each mth is based on the same mth the previous year plus a precentage more. No matter how well you do it will never be good enough . Office mgrs are paid a low salery but they offer a bonus. The bonus is paid only if the office reaches the budget and then office cost are subtracted from it like office employees overtime etc. Corporate also requires the om to be there usually an hour before the office opens and to be the last to leave. An om can plan on working at least 9-10 hour days m-f and then 1-2 saturdays a mth plus some after hour meetings, usually out of town that require the om to drive to after the office has been closed for the day. By the time salary and bounus is divided into the hours its almost minimum wage. If you want to see what an om's day consist of just google aspen reviews.
