Assistant Office Manager Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I submitted my resume on Craig's List many times - and often when I apply to a Office Assistant or Office Manager position, I receive an email back explaining the company and how my job would be to receive their US checks and to take them to my bank or a cash checking place and keep a percentage and send the rest of the funds to them- has anyone ever gone through with this and is it a scam? I've never responded, thinking it wrong in some way.

I'm currently an office manager/executive assistant and I hate the fact that I'm constantly sitting at a desk. What job can I do that will require me to move around or require me to be in good shape. Not interested in being a model, exercise person, or police officer or firefighter. Help!

I am moving to Denver from Maryland. I currently have several years of experience as an office manager/executive assistant. Will I be able to land a job there or is the market really tough? I do have experience waiting tables, if I need to fall back on that at first, but I don't want that to be the long term thing.

1. I have been interviewing quite a bit and I find myself having trouble answering these questions: Name three of your weaknesses? 2. You have a degree in healthcare and an extensive work experience in health. Why are you looking for work at our company which isn't health related? 3. What are your long term goals? I know my weaknesses but when it comes to telling someone my weaknesses, I can't think of any. The positions I apply to I have experience in. I have over six years of experience as an Administrative Assistant in a healthcare organization. I apply to A.A. positions in other companies not related in healthcare. The job descriptions for all jobs I apply to read similiar to my previous job. When answering what my long term goal is I don't want to look like I don't have the company's interest in mind. For example, in an interview I've said my long term goal is acquiring the needed skills and experience to become an Office Manager.

I have an interview with a small animal hospital in my home town here in Lexington, Kentucky. I am sure I will be asked about what I am expected to be paid, but I honestly have no clue. I am currently making $9.25 as an office manager for a small construction contracting office. After reading descriptions of the job and considering it may include working as a receptionist/clerical help, I would figure definately more than minimum wage. For just a receptionist in my area I see offers of $9-$10 and even more. Any advice on where I should start? Don't bother if you're just going to tell me what website I should look at....been there, done that.

I am a college graduate with a Bachelors in Business Administration and I am trying to apply for a retail position. My experience includes Product Manager Assistant, Office Administrator and Assistant to the Sr. Finance Officer. Will that make me look over qualified by adding a resume to a retail job that is only part-time? I need the job for money, if you're wondering why retail.

I've been through two interviews with the office manager and financial planners and took a personality test. I have my third interview with the partner of the company and don't know what to expect. I've answered so many questions at the first two--what more could they possibly ask me? I really want to be prepared! I should also mention I'm a recent college graduate and don't have much experience with interviews. Please offer any advice you have! Thank you!
