Describe a logical approach to prioritizing your work. Be sure to align your response with the level of responsibility you will be required to handle at Raytheon. For example, a senior-level candidate should have the ability to manage multiple strategic priorities while more junior roles focus primarily on tactical prioritization skills.

"As a senior technical program manager, there is always a mix of high-priority initiatives to manage. My first step is to ensure that my roadmap is properly aligned with the value stream. I stay up to date on our goals and any changes that affect the priority. After that, I ensure that my teams are properly staffed and that our plans for the next month or so are aligned with the roadmap.

At a tactical level, I work with my team leads to make adjustments to resource assignments as needed. When something unexpected an important comes up, we discuss it and put a plan into motion to make sure we deal with the new challenge while ensuring our originally planned work is completed on time."

"I typically work on more than one project at once and it is important that they all get the attention they deserve. I make a plan every day and allocate my time accordingly. When something unexpected comes up, I make an adjustment and reach out for assistance if needed. I communicate any changes in timing or priority, and I put in extra hours as needed to ensure that everything gets done."
