Question 39 of 39

Tell me about a time when you did not have enough time to complete all assigned tasks. How did you prioritize?

Start off by telling the interviewer that you are typically an organized person and achieve everything on time. Share how you usually organize your work. You might share that you keep a to-do list of all the objectives that you must complete, keep your electronic calendar up-to-date, and that you spend 5-10 minutes at the beginning of your day reviewing your calendar for the day as well as prioritizing your to-do list for that day. Next, share about a time when you failed to get an assigned task done on time due to something outside of your control. Perhaps you were sick, an emergency arose, or someone else called in sick for the day changing your priorities. Share how you prioritized your time with the goal of achieving the deadline, and share why you were not able to achieve it on time. Finally, be sure to wrap it up by re-iterating that you are usually a deadline driven person, and you almost always complete everything on time.

      "Well, first off, when I'm planning out all of the tasks with a team for a project, I try to account for any absences of any team member, whether expected or unexpected and have some contingencies in place. That said, I did encounter this situation when someone from another team was out sick. I prioritized the tasks our team could complete in order of importance and informed our project manager of the tasks that were at risk."
