Have you ever had one of those days when it seems that every task is taking your attention? Perhaps sometimes you feel frozen; unable to know what steps to take next? Prioritizing may seem simple, but it's a difficult skill that takes practice to master.
When prioritizing your work, it's important to mark down every task that needs attention. You may want to rank each task from 1-5 as far as urgency, deadline, or stakeholders. Others choose to list each job based on the due date, estimated value, or amount of time needed from start to completion.
Show the interviewer that you have a thoughtful system in place to help you better prioritize, making you a highly valuable and productive member of Land O Lakes.

"I am always asking myself what is next, and keeping lists of tasks ranked by their financial impact and the amount of time they will take to complete. I started to utilize 'Wrike,' a project management software that helps me to categorize tasks and track what stage of completion they are in, adding timestamps to my work. The system also alerts me when milestones are approaching."

"I organize my work based on the overall urgency and time required for the project. This information often comes with guidance from my management team. I keep a 'to-do' list of what I need to accomplish before the end of the day, and I never leave until I have checked off every item on my list. It's important to me that I never begin my day feeling behind the 8-ball, so to speak."
