Assistant school business manager interview

[Nat227]

Hi - wondered if anyone may be able to help? I have an interview coming up for an assistant school business manager. I really want the job - it’d be my first ‘proper’ job since having children.

They are setting a number of tasks, two of which are worrying me! One is a numerical test, the other, a financial scenario. Has anyone had any interview tasks like these and could shed some light on what I can expect?

I’m doing my best to be as prepared as possible but hoping that someone on here may be able to give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing it'll be using excel

Yes I'd be swotting up on Excel, using formulas, copy and paste etc. The financial scenario might be about budget setting, or conflicting budgets if it's a business manager post, or even income generation. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies.
Very helpful & also the thoughts I’d had.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
