Question 1
Can you describe some of your past duties in your last few roles as they relate to this job title?
Interviewed with potential boss and two others in the department. For a large corp, the interviews were surprisingly straight forward- asking about experience. No behavioral questions. Just asking if I had experience doing expense reports, how many people I've supported, doing travel arrangements, etc.
Extremely smooth interview process, HR always available for follow up question, appointment on time, great meeting room, HR ready to answer any questions about the company (very sound knowledge of processes, people, vision, etc)
