It's great that you're taking proactive steps to improve your interview performance. Here are some key interview questions and potential answers for a Senior Administrator role:

- This is your chance to provide a brief overview of your career, focusing on your administrative experience. Highlight your key achievements and skills that make you suitable for the role.
2. How do you prioritize your work when everything is a priority?
- Discuss your time management and organizational skills. Mention any tools or techniques you use to manage your workload effectively.
3. Can you give an example of a difficult situation you handled at work and how you resolved it?
- This question is about your problem-solving skills. Choose a situation that shows your ability to handle conflict, stress, or unexpected challenges.
4. How do you ensure compliance with company policies and labor laws?
- Discuss your knowledge of labor laws relevant to India and how you have ensured compliance in your previous roles.
5. What strategies do you use to motivate your team?
- This question is about your leadership style. Talk about how you encourage team members, recognize their achievements, and support their professional development.
Remember, these are just potential answers. Tailor your responses to your personal experiences and the specific role you're applying for. Also, always be honest in your responses. If you don't know the answer to a question, it's better to admit it than to try to bluff your way through. Good luck with your future interviews!

The key questions are the ones you get asked in a particular interview with the particular company you have applied to. Every company is different, type and scope of work varies between companies and industries. If you are applying for jobs in a industry you are familiar with, then you should already know what the key competencies necessary for that industry.
There can be a number of reasons why you are not being selected. Examples include lack of skills relevant to the position, not being a good fit for the organisation, and the old problem of an employer already having chosen someone, but going through the motions of interviewing to make it look like a genuine process. But one of the main problems I saw time and time again as both an interviewer and as a job search trainer, was lack of preparation for the interview. Ask for a job description and if possible a person description for the job before you think about applying. Use the job description to work out the sort of questions you are going to be asked, and make sure you have examples of situations you have experienced, so you can answer any question without too much difficulty. Always remember the STAR principle when answering questions, what was the SITUATION, what was the TASK, what ACTION did YOU take, and what was the RESULT. Focus all you answers solely on what you can do, how you handle situations, what you can bring to the company, how you can help the company achieve their goals etc, etc. Don't wander off topic, maintain a LASER focus solely on the company and their needs. If they don't articulate their goals to you, then ASK them. Then tell them how you can help them achieve those goals.
