EY Executive Assistant interview questions

The process took 5 interviews from phone to face to face. It took a little over 2 months from first interview to offer. Each interview was very comfortable and familiar. The interview path was from the location manager, to the Director of the group. Each interview took an average of 45 mins. This was a new group that EY had developed and needed staff to promote its services to eligible staff.

I submitted my resume and cover letter via the EY careers home page. A few days later I received an e-mail from an HR coordinator informing me that a recruiter would like to schedule a telephone interview with me. After speaking to the recruiter for approximately one hour, she informed me I would be contacted to schedule an in-person interview at the firm to which I applied. The telephone interview was no-nonsense and straight to the point; I was asked about my experience as it related to the position and several behavioral questions. The in-person interview took place two weeks later and was significantly breezier than the screening over the phone. It seemed that the recruiter who did the telephone screening mattered a lot, with some considered to be more thorough and tougher than others. At the end of the interview I was told I would be contacted by the recruiter with a verbal offer on the condition that I pass an online skills test for Microsoft Office. The following day I received the offer over the telephone and accepted. The next day the offer was sent to me in writing via e-mail.
