QUESTION 32 OF 35

What is your approach to time management?

Employers ask this interview question to evaluate your time management skills and assess your ability to distinguish between urgent and non-essential tasks. Your answer to this question gives the interviewer an idea of how you'd manage and complete your work assignments. Highlighting your time management skills, organizational skills, and your ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance reveals you're capable of performing efficiently while taking on multiple responsibilities.

"I have several methods of tracking my work when I have to step away from it. I'm remiss to waste time trying to retrace my steps. That's rework. I pride myself on being as productive as possible. I strive to go above and beyond my standard. It doesn't stop there either. I'm all about swiftly proofing my work."

"My time management stretches into my personal time. I am a pretty low-key person and am rarely stressed out. So much of our stress is of our own making. If I don't set up my morning the night before, that might create a stressful situation, and that stress carries into my day and my performance. Having strong time management skills allows me to see what's coming towards me up the road and gives me the option of changing course."
