How do you determine priorities on the job when you have multiple tasks and projects that you are working on at once?

"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."

"In my work, I have learned to become a very efficient multitasker by staying organized and keeping track of everything on my plate. I set aside time for long-term project work while focusing on the day-to-day work. Communication with my colleagues is often key to ensuring that tasks get assigned and delegated."

When posed this question, be prepared to discuss how you decide which task needs your attention most when you feel torn between multiple projects. Assure the interviewer that you can be diligent when assessing your priorities and resourceful when using the tools available to you to help prioritize your work.
