      Answer Example

      "A fellow Court Clerk was out sick for her trial, so I stepped in to cover for her. While I was getting all of her documents together, about an hour before showtime, I found that she had paperwork from another case mixed in. I had one hour to go back through her paperwork. I focused and got the job done."
