      Executive Assistant Interview

      Jul 1, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (New York, NY) in May 2009

      Interview

      Met the Executive Director at a Non Profit Fundraising Event. After discussing my career interests, he invited me to interview for the position of Executive Assistant. The interview was conducted by the Executive Director, Fund Development Director, and Finance Manager. It went very well, but at least one person was not enthused about me being hired. The Executive Director, my ultimate boss, felt I was the best candidate. I stayed for 4 years and made lifelong friends and colleagues.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      It was mainly about my experience with non-profit organizations, of which I had very little. I was just out of college, but did work study for a non profit community center for 4 years.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      It takes a very long time to interview with the Y, about a month for the process from start to finish. I feel the process was worth it though, phone screen, then screen with other employees in the dept, then with the VP.
