Administrator Interview Questions

  
Administrator Interview

If you are preparing for an administrator job interview, ensure you have done your homework on the company before you get there. Having an insight into what you will be doing will help give the impression of a keen and enthusiastic candidate for the job. You will be expected to be confident in talking on the phone, have strong I.T skills and comfortable with multi-tasking amongst others.
   
Some common and generic questions are shown below. Make sure to tailor the answers around yourself and the specific job you are hoping to get. Practice delivering the answers with a friend or even in front of a mirror. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become and therefore the more confident you will appear during the interview.

Question: Are you confident you could handle a large volume of calls incorporated over multiple lines?

Answer:  I have had experience of this in the past and find that remaining friendly with the customer and being efficient with time is the best way to keep stress to a minimum and helping to ensure accuracy of recorded data.

Question:  Do you have any particular strengths which you feel would help with this job?

Answer:    I believe my attention to detail and organizational skills will be a particular asset to this post. I can take a large volume of data over a relatively short space of time and ensure everything gets filed in the correct location accurately and neatly. This efficiency ensures I can maintain complete control over my workspace.     

Question: Do you work well with other people?
   
Answer:   I prefer to work as part of a small effective team. Working together increases productivity and can ensure the customer is getting the best level of service possible. In my last post I was part of a 5-man team and was second in charge behind the supervisor. I was also often trusted with taking charge of the team in the supervisors access and enjoyed engaging with the customers, either on the phone or face-to-face.
