Focus on the organizational tools you use to stay organized, showing the interviewer you have the skills they require. Maybe you use organizational software, write lists, use an app on your phone, use a filing system, or have a day planner or journal.

If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying that your organizational skills could use improvement. If you need help getting organized, it is best to improve those skills by taking a course, watching a video, or reading a book before your interview.

"I am a very organized person and find it easy to stay organized by writing to-do lists, using a calendar app on my phone, where I input all my appointments, and utilizing a portable filing system. Every morning I write my to-do list, prioritizing the most urgent tasks I need to accomplish and any meetings or appointments I have. The portable filing system keeps me organized by separating different cases, so all of the paperwork stays together and is easy to access when I need it. My past employer commended my organizational skills in several performance reviews and said other staff members could learn a lesson from me."
