      Executive Assistant Interview

      13 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Essex Partners (Boston, MA) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      From the beginning, I was approached through email minutes after submitting my resume. The person contacting me was straight and to the point. Although friendly, I noticed a very forward aggressive type person and one hard to please. My resume was critiqued as if I was applying to support the POTUS. I believe by attempting to be personable, it showed I may be a push over in difficult situations. Quite the contrary. Flies attract better to honey than to the opposite. I did a lot of preparation only to be whisked away quickly and swiftly after just the first round of interviews, after being told I was to meet with other personnel in the office.

      Question 1

      The usual strength and weakness question was one that stands out. At that point, I was turned off; it's so cliche.
