Job interview.
Hi, my name is James Robinson, I'm here for a job interview.
Good evening, James Robinson.
Let me see.
Oh, right, here you are.
I'll notify the hiring manager that you're here.
You could wait over there.
Thank you very much.
A little later.
Mr. Robinson.
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Robinson.
I'm Peter Clarke, the hiring manager at Sunny English.
Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Clarke.
Follow me, please.
A little later.
Take a seat, please.
Thank you for coming here today, to be totally honest, I was very impressed with your CV.
You have a lot of experience working in administrative positions even during your college years.
Thank you and thank you for having me here today as well.
I did work on my college campus both during my undergrad and grad.
Personally, I found this experience to be fundamental in my career as an administrative assistant,
since I had an opportunity to work with various departments at my college.
I see it is stated that you have been in your current position for three years.
Why have you decided to resign?
I'm relocating to this area the following week, therefore I'm looking for a position in this city,
despite loving my current company and colleagues, they do not offer remote working.
Is this something you can see yourself doing?
Yes, absolutely, I'm a tech savvy, organized, disciplined individual with excellent oral and written
communication skills.
I've been working part time as a remote virtual assistant for the past year and have enjoyed the flexibility
it provides.
What do you like the least about working remotely?
Hmmm, I would say finding the lifework balance, I won't deny that it was challenging at first to draw
the line between your working hours and free time.
So I ended up overworking and felt burnt out by the end of the third month.
However, I managed to adjust my schedule and no longer have this problem.
I understand the struggle, I myself have worked remotely for two years, what and unfortunately do
not manage to find this balance.
So here I am conducting in-person interviews.
Oh, I see.
Mr. Robinson, do you have any questions for me?
Yes, could you describe a typical day, my position here?
Well, as an administrative assistant, you'll be performing a variety of administrative and clerical
tasks every day, such as answering and directing phone calls, preparing regularly scheduled reports,
providing general support to our clients and visitors, etc..
I see, thank you.
Well, this has been a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Robinson.
Likewise, Mr. Clarke.
We'll call you within three days.
I'm hopeful that this is not our last meeting.
Have a nice day, Mr. Robinson.
Thank you very much again.
Have a nice day as well.
