Multi-tasking and prioritizing multiple projects is an essential skill in the busy public works industry where you will have many tasks on the go at one time. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of handling a variety of tasks and deadlines at one time. Talk about your current role and how multi-tasking is an expectation. You could tell a story about how you delivered on multiple expectations in tandem. If you are new to your career, you can draw from your post-secondary experience, volunteer work, or even a team sports.
