      Administrative Office Manager Interview

      Feb 16, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Korn Ferry (Washington, DC) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      Applied online for WDC location; received call from the Minneapolis office within 1 day to schedule initial phone screen - questions were your typical job-related background questions; lasted about 30 minutes. Next day received email requesting a phone or Skype interview with corporate office, which was scheduled within the same week (about 2-3 days later); spoke with 2 individuals on the same day (one from LA, the other from NYC); questions were behavior in nature and more specific to professional background focusing on the job description. The next week they followed up with a request to take an online assessment meant to gauge skill, behavior and cultural fit. After taking the assessment, I was scheduled for in-person interviews with WDC office management which were your typical round-robin interviews, each lasting about 40min to an hour. Some were behavior based questions, others seemed to be gauging personality and fit more than skill-set. These interviews were followed up by a breakfast meeting with the managing partner (clearly to gauge behavior and personality fit). The following week, I was offered the job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Multiple questions on the phone and in person were about fitting into a matrix environment and dealing with difficult or challenging personalities, e.g., how I would react in certain situations; or if I had experience with certain personality types.
