"Knowing that managing multiple projects and deadlines is required in this job, I feel that my college experience has prepared me well for this opportunity. I utilize technology with spreadsheets and calendars to keep me organized when working on multiple things simultaneously, and I begin each workweek by updating and making a new to-do list. Each evening at the end of the workday, I update my to-do list with accomplishments and new tasks to help keep me on track."

"Becoming successful in this job requires great time management and organization skills, and I am very proud of my skills. Any free time that I have is spent collecting data, tracking success in my clients, and putting workshops together for the future. On top of that, I'm never hesitant to seek assistance when needed. For a current project that I'm working on with a State Senator, I am utilizing the services of several public health officials in data collection."

This question is to test your time management skills and your ability to prioritize. Tell the interviewer how you prioritize your day and get everything completed in a timely fashion. Tell the interviewer about a time you were in charge of a project and were able to delegate work to meet a deadline. As a Health Educator, time management is your middle name. Explain how you can juggle your time and still give 100% to your job.

"I am very efficient with my time. I set aside time each morning to evaluate my day and ensure I'm meeting deadlines, responding to urgent needs, and staying on track with meeting goals. With that said, I also reflect daily on the long-term goals and projects and carve out time for the planning required on those."
