Describe a successful project with a deadline in detail. Explain the project and discuss what you did to assist leadership in meeting the goal.

Avoid speaking as if you did the whole project alone. An Insurance Assistant will typically assist in larger projects as part of a team, and you do not want to appear as if you are going to "take over" something you shouldn't. Also, do not say you "worked overtime." The interviewer doesn't want to hear that you were unable to complete the task during work hours unless specifically stated.

"When I worked at XX company, the team was tasked with completing a multi-faceted marketing plan. The deadline was moved up, and we all had to focus on that one project for several days to meet the goal. I was asked to work directly with the Director of Marketing to ensure all of their goals were completed by listening carefully and prioritizing tasks accordingly. Other team members were assigned to other pieces of the project in conjunction with my work. The project was completed ahead of the deadline without anyone having to work past typical business hours, and the client was very pleased with our work!"
