"Coming into my first job as a Health Educator, you'll quickly find that I am a very organized and detail-oriented person, and these skills make multitasking a breeze. I am a note-taker and keep a running list of projects with due dates. Based on my notes, I can effectively prioritize deadlines to ensure that things are completed on time. I utilized a system like this in college where I was balancing a large credit load, family life, and a part-time job."

"Throughout my career, I have found myself relying on technology more and more to help myself stay organized in my job as a Health Educator. My smartphone is my lifeblood, where I utilize my calendar for meetings, deadlines and set aside work time for specific projects. I find that if I physically schedule time on my calendar to work on particular projects, nothing gets left behind, and deadlines are never missed."

A successful career as a Health Educator requires managing multiple projects and tasks at one time. Your interviewer will be looking for you to talk about the resources and strategies that you use to keep yourself organized and on task for these projects that you will be juggling at one time. If you use technology like an electronic calendar, talk about how it helps you in staying organized. If you are a list maker, talk about how that helps you. As long as you have a strategy for staying on top of things, there really are no wrong answers here as long as your interviewer understands that you take the necessary measures to stay organized.

"In my current job, I am managing many things at any given point in time. I am following up with metrics on past presentations and projects, planning for upcoming seminars, and am always researching and scoping out future projects. To keep me on track, I utilize my phone and laptop to keep on track with my Outlook calendar with the tasks function. Being away from my office frequently, I use a software called Evernote that enables me to type or speak notes into a program that shares the notes across my devices. These tools are essential for me to stay on track while multitasking multiple things."
