      Entry Level Example

      "Busy work days can easily be handled with some organization and prioritization. During my schooling, I worked as a phlebotomist to gain experience in a clinical setting. In a busy hospital, I needed to lay out a plan each day for the patients I was scheduled to see. By laying out a plan, I could see where I had extra time to help shuffle in any emergent patients and keep me on task throughout my day. I will be able to utilize this method in this role as well."

      Answer Example

      "Yes, occasionally I have been overloaded with work. If I feel overloaded, I talk with my coworkers to see if they can help me out. I've developed a great working relationship with them, so we never feel we are putting each other out. That is one of the great aspects of working on a team, where everyone helps each other when needed."

      Experienced Example

      "I have been overloaded with work, but it hasn't been unbearable because I prioritize my work each day. I have never fallen behind in my work by prioritizing what needs to be accomplished first or what needs most of my attention and time."
