"I have strong administrative skills and a great deal of experience supporting program managers and their team. I implement my administrative duties through organization, time management, and prioritization. My experience includes setting up meetings, scheduling events, research, training, and implementing documents. I've supported a team of five people in previous positions."

"My manager needed a presentation on technology changes in the next 10 years. To create a slide deck, I researched future technological changes using information from the top technology experts and engineers on the internet."

"I complete general tasks in the order I receive them. For projects with similar deadlines, I set clear expectations with my managers of what I will do and when, and I communicate to them what they can expect from me. In the case of projects with immediate deadlines, I prioritize tasks, assign blocks of time to each one, and use project management software."

"I was a program assistant for an electronics company preparing to announce a new electronic device. We had two celebrities scheduled for publicity and TV commercials. I had to work on the development of the program, schedules, and work with their agents while keeping all details and names confidential."

"I'd immediately contact the person responsible for changing the website and initiate corrections and communicate with all team members to make them aware of the situation. After contacting the client to clarify the situation, I'd look for other places and sources where the mistake may appear. I'd then email all parties and participants to briefly state the error, that the website is corrected, and restate the correct information."

"I've used Asana daily email alerts to remind people of impending deadlines and Google Calendar to keep the office updated and aware of pending events. I sync my checklists through G Suite so I can easily move between my calendar, email, and to-do lists."

"In a previous position, I was responsible for scheduling travel and car service for my boss. In one instance, I forgot he had a layover in Los Angeles on a Saturday and hadn't scheduled a car to pick him up from the airport. I missed a phone message from him, so I called him and apologized for my mistake with no excuses. After that, every Friday I scheduled 30 minutes to double-check travel schedules and car pickup times. I added this information with confirmation and contact numbers to his calendar for backup if he couldn't reach me."

"I establish boundaries with difficult people, and when interacting with them, I focus on finding solutions and not on the problem. I ignore negative talk and disconnect from negative situations. The best thing is to stay connected with like-minded people for support and inspiration. Handling conflict with them means talking and listening to each other and working out a solution that's most beneficial to the company."

"I use G Suite to email and design presentations. I'm experienced with Microsoft Office, Slack, and have taught myself how to use Microsoft Teams. I understand you use Zoom, which I know, and Trello. I've just learned Trello and like its interface, which mimics a mobile app."

"In the case of not receiving complete or clear instructions, I ask my manager for a 10-minute meeting to discuss the project and get clarification. If I get stuck because I can't focus, figure out certain elements of the project, or think creatively, I take a break and disconnect for a few minutes. I go back to the original project plan and review the tasks or discuss them with a team member. Other actions include researching similar projects for fresh ideas and reviewing past projects for ideas."

"As an intern, I worked at a nonprofit where the culture often required six hours of meetings a day. I could see how tiring this was for the attendees. I recommended we make internal meetings only 50 minutes long, allowing for bathroom breaks and time to check emails. Upon approval, I worked with the tech team, created a plan that adjusted everyone's calendar, and alerted everyone about the change."

"I worked for an executive who counted on me for feedback on morale and reactions to company changes. When coworkers confided in me so I could help the office function better, I would share employee feedback without giving details or names. This allowed me to fix problems without sharing the identity of any unhappy workers. I built trust on both sides."

"I'm familiar with Cvent, Brushfire, and Eventbrite, which I like because it's customizable. My favourite is the mobile-friendly Whova. It's an all-in-one event management software that allows me to manage virtual, in-person, or hybrid events from beginning to end."

"I would consult my manager to find out why, ensure that the facts and reasons were genuine, then sit down with the team to discuss a new plan. I would evaluate the changes and determine what's feasible within the deadline and budget. From there, I would put together an updated project plan for all to review and approve. If a deadline is changed, I would verify it and alert all parties. I would recommend changes to the scope of the project and possibly adjust the budget."

"I love a collaborative environment and find that I thrive in a fast-paced work setting. Previous positions have always included deadlines as part of the culture, teamwork where input was valued, and teams that drove each other to success."
