7 Administrative Assistant's UPDATE 10 questions admins may face in job interviews By Staff OfficeTeams' 2019 Administrative Sal- ary Guide, designed to help employ- ers in the hiring process, suggests 10 questions calculated to give employers insights into candidates' technical and interpersonal skills. What would be your readiness to respond to these questions as an interviewee? What kind of office environ- ment do you thrive in? Tell me about a time you felt overwhelmed at work and how you handled it. What software do you think is most effective for collaborating with team members? Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an angry cus- tomer or coworker. How do you go about learning new software or other technol- ogy? Tell me about a project you are particularly proud of manag- ing. How would your coworkers describe you as a team member? As a team leader? What have you done at your current company to save time or reduce costs? Tell me about a time you deliv- ered exceptional service. How do you foster positiv- ity when a complex project is behind schedule and team members are on edge? Select the New Group item below My Menu Tab and rename it to My Group. Now select a Command from the left-hand selection pane and click the Add button. Then click OK. You should now see your new My Menu Tab in the Office product Ribbon at the top of the screen. Now that you know the process, return to the File / Options window and start adding more command functions to your My Menu command group that you believe will assist you in your work. Over time add more functions to your menu Tab and eventually you will find that you don't have to wan - der around the Office Product Ribbon looking behind each Tab to find the commands you are looking for and use the most! Next month we will add a new command to the Rib- bon based on a simply recorded Macro that anyone can do!
