You'll have a panel interview and an in-basket test. The in-basket test involves writing emails, and working with spreadsheets and pivot tables. It's only 30 minutes long, which is the tricky part, but it's okay if you don't finish everything.

The interview lasted for 1 hour, and it was with a panel. They asked standard interview questions, mostly looking for examples of when I showed leadership, organization, multitasking, and meeting deadlines. Right after the 1-hour interview, they gave me another hour to do an online in-basket test. This test checked my basic admin skills, like how I'd reply to emails or set up an Excel sheet. The in-basket test had four questions and I had to finish it in 1 hour. So, the whole thing took about 2 hours.
