How do you handle situations where workflow is slow?

Be positive! Let the interviewer know that you are active in helping other team members or leaders if needed and that if your workflow is slow, you are willing and able to pitch in wherever needed.

Avoid giving the impression that you would just sit there. You want to sound eager and interested in helping others.

"I like to keep busy, so if the workflow is slow, I would ask my supervisor if they needed anything. If they did not or were not in the office, I would ask other team members or leaders if I could help with something."

"I would take that time to make sure all files are organized properly, help out the office manager by checking the supply room to ensure it is stocked, check the kitchen for outdated items, and ask others if I could help them with anything."
