Can I multi task

2 Answers

told her my job description of the company I was working for and I knew how to prioritize and get things done. Understood how to handle confidential documents Less

I doubt anyone will see this, but I interviewed for an administrative assistant job with AHCA a couple of weeks ago, and they called me the week after my interview and asked me to come in and sign a background check consent form, and when I went in to sign they also took me around the office and introduced me to everyone, but no one ever said I had been selected for the position. It has been 7 business days since I signed the form for my background check, and I haven't heard anything from them and I'm starting to get a little worried. I know my background check is squeaky clean, so I'm just wondering if it normally takes this long to complete a background check and how soon I should expect to hear from them? Sorry for this long rambling question, I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Less

Describe your biggest weakness.

1 Answers

This one is a trap since many people don't answer this properly. You have to describe something that would obviously be a weakness to them (like no administrative experience, minimal employment history, etc) and discuss it, but be sure to put their mind at ease about it. If you were let go from a job and they know about it, bring it up. Now is your chance to explain to them how you have grown from it and/or it will not affect your position here. Turn this "negativity" into something positive so there is little to nothing for them to worry about in regards to hiring you. Less
