Question 1 of 35

How do you determine priorities when you have multiple tasks at hand?

Attest to your time management skills, and explain how effective you are at estimating time frames, meeting deadlines, and knowing when to shift from your big-picture goals to more pressing short-term goals. When you feel torn between multiple projects or tasks, detail how you determine which needs your attention. Assure the interviewer you're diligent and, as they state in many of their job postings, that you have an "ability to prioritize and execute with a sense of urgency and preciseness."
