Employers ask questions related to the organization because it is an important interpersonal skill that promotes productivity and efficiency. People who are organized typically use their time, energy, and resources more wisely than those who are disorganized.

Prior to the interview, think about the tools you use to keep yourself organized in school or at work. By describing the specific ways you use these tools and how they help you accomplish work-related tasks, you're demonstrating your level of organization. You may want to describe how you save time by focusing on one task at a time to produce higher-quality work. If you work quickly with fewer distractions, you may explain how you avoid checking emails and answering phone calls when working on high-priority assignments.

"I always have a notepad with me to write down quick reminders and to-do lists. I also use a variety of apps and digital tools to help me stay organized and remember important events. Most of the time I use an online calendar because it makes sharing my calendar and work projects with others so easy. In the past, I've also used different work management platforms to help me accomplish goals and meet deadlines. At the end of my shift, I make time to transfer the details of my handwritten notes into my online calendar. This ensures that I don't miss any important details from the day."
