This competency is for interviewers because as an Executive Assistant, you maintain ownership of many different responsibilities. They want to ensure that the work is getting done, that time is allocated appropriately, prioritized well, and that information from various projects is not getting mixed up.

"In my current role, I was responsible for communication and coordination of over ten clients in one day. They all had different needs, timelines, and preferred communication methods. To ensure I was managing them all appropriately, I leveraged a project management platform to track what phase each client was in and what support they needed at any given time. This process also allowed me to enter notes and documentation related to each client, ensuring that their documentation did not mix up. This process kept our engagement with them very organized and allowed us to engage with them quickly and promptly based on their specific needs."
