Part of your duties as an MSL will include deadline-specific tasks like trial registry, creating presentations, and writing for publications. Your interviewer would like to know that you are a diligent individual when it comes to meeting the work-related deadline of an MSL, especially when you are multitasking many things at once.

"Just a couple of months ago, my current organization was releasing two new drugs and my large client load required a great deal of planning to prepare for taking it live to the market. In the weeks leading up to the official release, I sent out client communications via email and then made a detailed plan for site visits with my top KOLs. My organization is very thorough with new drug releases and the expectation is that all of our collaborating physicians be armed with knowledge of the drug within a week of hitting the market."

Talk to the interviewer about your ability to act diligently on the job. Your example should clearly display how you organize yourself in your work to ensure that you prioritize upcoming deadlines while still ensuring all other work gets completed on time. Don't hesitate to talk about any tools and resources you use to keep yourself on track with meeting deadlines in your work.
