Be prepared to be ask a broad range of questions and to also talk about your creative interests, they care about them!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How comfortable are you with handling a high volume workload and could you describe what was the busiest environment you have been in previously?
Two recruiter screens, followed by an onsite meeting with the hiring managers + a meeting with my recruiter. I then had a take home project and a virtual panel interview with 4 VCs. Got my offer the next business day.
Long and energy draining. I had 6 interview and a coverage assignment with no job offer. Overall, too damn long of a process for an assistant job that I didn't get an offer for.
HR screen, talk to current assistant, talk to other current assistant about to be promoted, coverage assignment (all remote) and then in-person interviews with VP and the execs. Ended up waiting several weeks and chasing down HR and people in the department before getting a call that I was not chosen.

HR gives you resources about the company’s ethos and you need to memorize them because they’ll quiz you.
