      Administrative Assistant Interview

      28 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Harrisburg, PA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Penn State (Harrisburg, PA) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      The initial interview is over the phone. It was pleasant but difficult to gauge over the phone. The process seems to take a long time. However, that seems common nowadays anyway. I am unfamiliar with the process beyond the initial interview.

      Question 1

      They ask about your strengths and weaknesses. They asked about how you collaborate with others.
