• Do you prefer to work individually or with team?
• How can you bear the work pressure ? 
• How you would distribute your tasks on your daily work hours?
• Would you refer all phone calls to your manager or you will answer some of them and why?
• How would you deal with other departments managers? As a colleagues or as a manager?  

1. Your strengths and weaknesses always come up. 

2. how do you work under pressure ? 

3. how do you organize your day. 

Being honest and trustworthy is usually what the interviewer will try to lookout during an interview, so yes first impression is the last and being yourself is what matters the most rather than putting up a fake personality, cause it will just cause you to fumble during questions. Be formally dressed and polite.

FIRST IMPRESSION LAST and the result of the interview will depend on how you present yourself, its important that you already got the employers attention within the first 5 minutes of the interview.  So it’s important you make a good impression!

A secretarial position is important in a big company as you will be the first person of contact for the company.  Hence, first impressions are last impressions.  It is important to have a facial and do a cleanse routine, shape eyebrows, full face hair removal.  Most of all use tiny earings to make a good appearance.  Simple quality dress or skirt and blouse with a good pair of black heels closed shoes with inner full stockings will help you feel comfortable and confident.  Normal make-up will help you look pretty and interesting.

Be prepared for a 100wpm speed dictation and typing speed 60 wpm, transcribe and type out directly.  Independent letter writing skills can be another question which is very interesting and done in companies.

An interview with the CEO or the General Manager can be next after all these test are taken.  Polish your skills up to the highest level in your CV and give it a go.  Be yourself and believe in yourself because your goals are best achieved when you are yourself and focused. Smile and greet everyone on the interview panel with a firm handshake.

Have your CV ready in triplicate.  Make sure it is clear, concise and accurate.  Standard English Language is used.  

Administration and Reception questions should be answered as following procedures, rules and regulation in a company.  Read up on company rules and regulations, procedures as in code of conduct, Being professional.

It is one of the easiest interviews and every company looks for a honest person for their company and long term.       

What is your daily routine? This is the usual question I'm encountering in every interview. As the interviewer would likely to know what are scopes of your job in the company, including Admin related works.
