Like administrative assistants, executive assistants must demonstrate exceptional organizational, time management, and interpersonal skills. Executives are looking for candidates with impeccable written and oral abilities who can manage typical administrative software. Expect interviewers to ask how you would handle a variety of difficult situations, such as prioritizing multiple deadlines, working well in groups, and defusing irate people.
Some questions were very open eg 'tell me about a typical day' and 'when are you at your worst'. I have aspergers syndrome and asked them to repeat, rephrase and clarify some of the questions or give me a minute to think. For me it was really hard to answer some of the questions at times as I couldn't see how they related to the job specification.
