How do you determine priorities when you have multiple projects due?
The interviewer wants to know when you feel torn between multiple projects or tasks how you decide which one needs your attention the most. Assure the interviewer that you can be diligent in assessing your priorities.
"I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours we are behind and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require additional hours from me. Never have I underdelivered on a deadline."
"Assuming that the projects have different stakeholders, I interview each to determine the value of increased productivity, morale or revenue, decreased costs, and the overall impact."
The interviewer wants to see that you have organizational skills and understand how to prioritize what needs to be done. Working in the healthcare industry means you may have to juggle many projects or patients at once, so the interviewer wants to see that you are capable of doing so.
