About the role
This interview covers the practical work that keeps boards, committees and statutory records in order. The panel is assessing your command of meeting processes and filings, the quality of your minutes, your judgement around governance concerns and your ability to handle sensitive material discreetly.
How to prepare
- Review the official corporate registry guidance for current filing processes and requirements.
- Prepare a clear account of a board or committee cycle you managed yourself.
- Practise drafting a concise minute that records discussion, decision, owner and deadline.
- Build a sample governance calendar covering meetings, returns and action follow-up.
- Think of a time you corrected a record or prevented a governance deadline from being missed.
Common mistakes
- Describing company secretarial work as note-taking rather than governance support.
- Recording every spoken word instead of capturing the substance and decision.
- Failing to explain how you verify filing details and completion.
- Sharing sensitive board information from a previous role.
