"In my current role, I can handle a large workload because of my organizational skills. If you could take a tour of my office, you'd see that I maintain a neat desk with a very organized file cabinet of my current workload. If I need to shift gears and move on to work with another client, I can easily access information on the fly and keep moving. I also utilize my Outlook calendar to set deadline reminders to stay on track of closing deadlines and paperwork requirements, and the program's tasks function helps me stay on track with all of my clients at a given time."
