How do you manage your time?
Interviewers ask this question to find out if you are going to be able to cope with multiple tasks and deadlines. You should have a system for prioritizing and organizing your work, so be ready to explain your preferred technique to your interviewer. One important aspect of time management is setting targets and breaking down larger tasks and projects into small, more manageable steps. Look back at challenges you've overcome and achievements you're proud of. Chances are that your time management techniques came into play.
"I typically like to split my day into 'most productive' and 'less productive' hours. I work best before lunch, so that's when I focus on the most important tasks that require focus and critical thinking. Following lunch, I focus on tasks like responding to emails, meeting with colleagues, or working on routine tasks that do not require concentrated thinking."
