As our next MSL, how would you prioritize multiple duties calling at once when they all seem equally important?

"I aim to be as effective and efficient as possible and make sure I can use all minutes of a day wisely. I have a few client things going at once most of the time. My experience allows me to quickly prioritize things that are the highest needs and I take care of them swiftly before moving on to other items. One tactic that really helps me is ensuring that I block time on my calendar each day to work through emails and not ever get behind on things there. Physicians expect responses in short order."

When answering this question, show the interviewer that you have a system in place that helps you to think through what needs to happen, and when. The better you can prioritize, the more productive you will be, making you an asset to their company! While there are many approaches you can take, it's important you understand what works for you and reiterate that in your interview. You can mention that you are a list maker or you utilize calendar technology, just make sure you emphasize that your method works for you.
