Office assistant job interview help!?

They will ask what skills you have for this job ? What It packages can you use? What interests you have? What do you know about their company?

You can ask what opportunites for promotion? Ask about overtime?

Try to relax a little bit :) The interviewer may ask why they (the company/employer) should hire you and they hope to hear that you are reliable (always show up on time and when scheduled), dependable, self-motivated (doesn't wait to be told to do a certain task or go the extra mile to help others) and always giving 110% (in whichever task that is needing to be done). The HR (human resources) staff person may ask if you prefer to work as part of a team or by yourself ("independently"), and they're hoping to hear that you are able to work in either situation since there may be certain tasks that require teamwork and others that require some autonomy. They might ask what your strengths and weaknesses are and the 'weakness' question is a trick and no one should talk negatively about oneself. A much more basic question that they should ask is which hours that you're available and they hope that you're flexible.

Please wait until the very end of the interview to ask about salary unless HR brings up the subject sooner otherwise it may seem greedy :) It's generally recommended to say that 'salary is negotiable' as to not overbid or underbid. Please also remember to bring a copy of your resume (if you have one) just in case that it's been misplaced. On that note, please remember to always send a cover letter (when faxing or mailing) along with a resume since the cover letter briefly expands on the resume.

HR will probably ask if you have any questions and it's a good idea to have a few good ones to show that you're thinking and interested in the company and position. Some questions that you may ask include 'how many offices do you have?' (if not already stated) and if have other offices, the location/which county, 'how long have you been at this location', 'how many staff members' that they have including "lawyers" or "accountants" depending on which type of office that it is.

Not to sound like a grammar teacher, but please remember that the word "a lot" has the 'a' separate from the 'lot', lol. You may have to type letters at this job too ;)
