"While attending university, I had many instances where I needed to deliver multiple projects in one week, while also juggling tests and extracurricular activities. I react quite well under pressure and find myself buckling down, concentrating more fully, and being extra diligent with my time. These experiences will translate well to large workloads here at Company ABC."

An interviewer needs to hear that you have a plan in place to keep yourself organized when you may have a larger than normal workload. The interviewer wants to evaluate your time management skills and diligence when faced with prioritization needs. Start by mentioning that you are typically an organized person. From here, dive into a recent time-consuming project for which you were involved, but came out on top.

"I am a naturally organized individual. Without proper organization, a workload can get out of hand quite quickly. I was recently involved with a project that required 30 hours of my time in two weeks while I was also in the middle of several other projects. I was able to stay on track with visual reminders, mid-day check-ins, and robust support processes in place. I ended up working some overtime, but that is par for the course in administration!"
