"As an auto mechanic, I would take the same approach as I did with my school deadlines. Assuming that the projects have different stakeholders, I look at the urgency of each and choose which project to tackle first."

As a mechanic, you will likely have a few projects on the go at one time. When you feel torn between multiple projects or tasks, how do you decide which one needs your attention the most? Assure the interviewer that you can be diligent when it comes to assessing your priorities.

"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 an additional commitment of hours from me. Never have I under delivered on a deadline."
