Hello everyone!

I have a phone call tomorrow with a recruiter from Google for an Administrative Business Partner position.

I was able to connect with the recruiter because I reached out to the Director of the department that is hiring, where after reviewing my resume, the Director forwarded it to the recruiter.

I am posting to see if anyone has any pointers for me going into a phone call of this type. Thanks for any guidance! Happy New Year, everyone!

My friend is an ABP at Google! Definitely focus on your ability to handle multiple projects/tasks at once.

An ABP is the secretary basically to a director. You sure this is what you want?

like

Is this a Site ABP role or a traditional ABP role? If Site ABP then it leans much more heavily towards a PgM role. They serve as a leader for the site and tend to be heavily involved in managing programs for the entire site, as well as community affairs, culture and comms. Also, the natural career path of many Site ABPs has been to a PgM role.

Transitioning from consultant to ABP? Are you sure? Those are very different lines of work.

Got it. Well, the recruiter call is more informational than anything. They'll probably just be screening to make sure the role is right for you. They may ask about comp expectations. But prepare for the basic behavioral interview anyway: walk me through your resume, why goole, why this role, tell me about a time when ____, etc.

What type of work have you been doing? ABP is Google's term for executive assistant, so if that's your line of work it could be the perfect role. If you've been doing something more along the lines of project / program management there may be other roles you'd be a better fit for. It's always hard to interpret Google lingo from the outside.

How did the call go?
