If you were given a choice, which work-related task would you leave for last? Why?

"If given a choice, I typically leave my documentation tasks for last. I like to spend my time with my customers, and anything to do with documentation during business hours takes away from my client-facing tasks. I understand the importance of it, though, and never put it off for the next day."

"In my work, I tend to leave my email for last. I find that once I am in my email, it's a never-ending whirlwind of small replies and to-dos. For this reason, and to remain focused and productive on my project work for most of the day, I like to schedule my email time periodically throughout the day."

Often, we will leave the tasks we don't like for last. Other times, we will mindfully move responsibility for last because it makes the most sense. Show the team at Northrop Grumman how you prioritize your work, and remember to answer the question directly when discussing which tasks you leave for last on your to-do list.

"During my undergraduate program, I've mastered prioritizing my work on a timeline and ensuring that my calendar allowed for work on all projects, assignments, and exams in priority order. That usually meant that the deadline furthest out got worked on last. On the job here at Northrop Grumman, I would likely bring this same approach and rely on my ability to stay organized and on-task."
