About your past
Walk me through a normal morning for you when you're the person keeping an office running. What do you check first?
What they are checking: Whether they have a routine that catches problems like supply gaps or broken equipment before staff notice them.
Tell me about a time three people needed something from you at once. How did you decide who came first?

Tell me about a vendor or building issue you had to manage, like a broken copier, a cleaning problem or a facilities repair.
What they are checking: Whether they follow up with outside vendors until the issue is actually fixed, not just reported.

About the work

Which tools have you used for scheduling, room booking or tracking requests, and how comfortable are you with Microsoft Office?
