Give me an example of a project that best describes your organizational skills.

"I consider myself a highly organized person and take pride in my skills. An example of a project that highlights my organizational skills was the last project I worked on. I was in charge of a condominium complex we were renovating and had to manage multiple construction crews, outside firms, heavy equipment, building inspectors, and liaison with the homeowners. We had a six-month deadline to complete the project, so I needed to remain highly organized. The best way I stay organized is with project management software, where I can work directly with my team online, prioritize tasks, and delegate what needs to be accomplished each day. Even though it was a large project, we finished ahead of schedule and without complications."

If your organizational skills are not the best, you want to avoid telling the interviewer that you are sometimes disorganized. Since organization skills are such a solid quality to have as a construction manager, you may be passed over as a candidate.
