Office Assistant Interview Questions

23,406 office assistant interview questions shared by candidates

It wasn't the questions, it was the "games" played after standard questions. You have to complete a questionnaire with vocabulary (words most people NEVER use - and yes, I have a college degree) You aren't given the opportunity to use a calculator for complex math questions. (Left my cellphone in my car as a courtesy for the interview). You are expected to figure it out on your own long handed. Those math questions needed a calculator. THEN, the icing on the cake you have to write down at least 5 sentences in "cursive only handwriting" on why I would be a good fit for the job. I haven't wrote in cursive in over 15 years (except my signature). Recruiter explained it was a science behind it and they needed to know how your brain worked based on how well you wrote in cursive. Biggest line of B.S. - that doesn't determine if you are a good fit for job or not - especially since people communicate by computers instead of cursive these days.
