Step 5
Know how to describe the process of setting up a large meeting. Be sure to include the basics: setting the meeting time, informing the attendees, preparing the meeting agenda and setting up the meeting place.

Compile examples to cite when asked for specifics on your capabilities to perform certain tasks, such as making travel arrangements, preparing reports and maintaining files and records.
Step 7
Ask questions at the end of the interview about the specifics of the job, the outlook of the company and advancement opportunities within the company. This will not only give the interviewer the impression that you are interested in the job, it will also allow you the opportunity to cover information that may not have been addressed by the interviewer.
