      Answer Example

      "I'm great at meeting deadlines. I have a planner that I live by and as soon as I get a task, I break it down into manageable pieces and tackle them one at a time. I ensure that I always turn in my projects early if not on time."

      Experienced

      "I'm great with deadlines. I rarely miss a deadline unless something is given to me at the last minute, and even those I can generally complete on time. I've had two instances when I was waiting for others to provide documentation, which caused a delay, but I always communicate when there's going to be a delay so that everyone knows the situation."
