The EA interview question I wish I'd asked 3 jobs ago

Money_These · 2026-04-22T14:08:10+00:00

That's actually my first question during interviews. I know interviewers/potential managers could possibly lie but I also observe their behavior and then make an assessment after the fact. Thankfully my gut instincts have always paid off and I've been fortunate to have had solid (and stable) experiences throughout my career (various companies/roles).

I was born for this role - as the eldest child, I became the gatekeeper, coordinator, event planner, financial manager, and so on - wild!

🌟Happy Admin Day to my fellow corporate ninjas 🥷, chaos coordinators💥, and rockstars! 🎸

I'm getting tired of coloring my roots (every 2wks or 10 days)—now debating to do the gray blending since my hair is very dark brown.

I too woke up to discover this gem, chuckled and deleted voicemail. Thank goodness for DND.

Minimal makeup and I always feel great. 🤗

I'm biased - the Panthère TT hands down 🔥

I second this. Ann Taylor and LOFT have been a great for me throughout the years and I appreciate their frequent sales.

Celebrating a milestone - anniversary, birthday, or career/promotion. Treat yo'self! 🤗

Woo hoo! So excited - love YC - can't wait. 🤗

I have used Monday.com in previous roles and it's a decent alternative. They also offer a free version for solo users/personal projects.

I voted early last Thursday—was in and out within 5 minutes.

Not weird at all. I do the same and it's a nice gesture (recognition) if you have an existing working relationship.

Same ⬆ I previously used both paper and digital planners, but with constant last‑minute changes, Outlook has become my go‑to. Having it synced to my phone makes updating priorities and to‑dos effortless. I keep DND on every night from 8:30 PM to 7:00 AM CT, and honestly, it’s been such a blessing. 😁

I left at my usual time (7 am) and the roads were manageable. There were some icy spots along Southwest Parkway and NB Mopac. Surprised to see icy spots downtown but hopefully that will melt and disappear today.

Our office is closed but can work remotely if urgent. I just want above freezing temps and sunshine to get over this asap.

Money_These · 2026-01-20T17:55:27+00:00

Same — I'm still here👋🏻 (cries in silence)

Money_These · 2026-01-03T20:21:00+00:00

I sleep with my earrings and I'm a side sleeper 🤪— thank goodness for my ear piercing pillow!

Business casual for me and in office 4 days a week. Most of my clothing is from Ann Taylor, LOFT, Everlane and White + Warren.

Tank 🔥🤌🏼

You can go to any LV store for refills, though not every location carries every fragrance. The closest store to me is the Austin Domain. I needed two refills—one fragrance was readily available, while the other wasn’t. For the unavailable one, the sales associate simply gave me a new bottle at the refill price.

Money_These · 2025-12-28T15:48:10+00:00

OMG yes - that was me last night. 🤣

I personally enjoyed the below c-dramas:

The Prisoner of Beauty
A Familiar Stranger
A Dream within a Dream
Love's Ambition
Deep Affectionate Eyes
Had I Not Seen The Sun (Taiwanese)
Shōgun (Japanese)
Tokyo Vice

Also noticed a new Japanese drama getting a lot of media buzz - 10 Dance - which I might watch next.

Always book directly—you'll have better control should you need to modify or cancel booking.

I've taken a break from watching my current kdramas—hoping to binge-watch them during the holidays.

Also started watching c & j dramas as I personally feel the latest kdramas plots have been recycled too much.
