How would you describe your work style?
Interviewers will want to learn more about you, and the methods you use to get your work done day in and day out. There really is no right or wrong answer here, simply a personal preference from the interviewer. They will want to be sure you are a fit for their organization and your personal work style can be accommodating inside their agency. Some areas of focus you can discuss are; organization, time management, team interaction, and your personal process of handling daily tasks and projects.
"I am intentional about how I plan my work week and with how I spend my time at work. I usually spend my Sunday evenings and mornings structuring my week and confirming deadlines, meetings and luncheons. I also prioritize my time with the team. Our meetings are pretty structured, following an agenda and using time efficiently. I like to have fun with the team at work as well, but I typically keep my work hours focused on work so that I can have fun at happy hours after work."

I would describe my work style as efficient and collaborative. I celebrate my wins by creating a "done" list and categorize my pending items based on priority. This way, I can always speak to what I'm working on and identify any upcoming roadblocks.

I love the idea of a 'done' list! It's so rewarding to see progress vs only focusing on what needs to be accomplished. It seems you are very well organized and on top of your tasks. Great answer.
