"I would ensure that I wrapped up my tasks at the end of the day and communicate clearly where I was leaving off my shift. If I could not complete certain tasks, I would notify my supervisor and share that with the person taking over for me. It's important not to get behind in your work and burden the next shift, so I would take extra care to manage my time wisely to get my job done."

"When I worked as a merchandiser, I was part-time and shared the responsibilities with a team of four people. I took time to explain what I was working on to my coworkers whenever I had to end my shift in the middle of a project. I also left notes that were easy to understand and kept my workspace tidy."
