Most engineering positions will require you to juggle varying deadlines. These deadlines may be internal, such as a design review with the project manager. Or, they may be external, such as ensuring a piece of equipment arrives before a plant shut-down day or a presentation is ready for the next client meeting. When answering this question, show the interviewer that you can balance deadlines and estimate the amount of time it will take you to finish a project. If you use a system to categorize your tasks, such as the Franklin Covey Time Management Matrix or a planner, mention it here. Additionally, if you are applying for a scheduling position, discuss your formal knowledge of project scheduling, such as the Critical Path Method, Design Sequencing, Construction Sequencing, Fast Tracking, etc.
