Calm, Cool and Collected....this is how you will answer this question. Depending on the size of the facility or office you are supporting you may work within a team or on your own. Now is your chance to tell the interviewer about your time management skills. Are you a list maker? Prioritizer? Walk the interviewer through a busy day as a Medical Coder and how you manage that workload.

"Each day at 8am my co-worker and I set aside 15 minutes to discuss what each other has on their plates. We are able to hear each other's work load and offer help when needed. Working together we are able to divide and conquer and avoid an unmanageable workload."

Each time I have a big workload, I will discuss it with my colleagues who work on the same project. We will decide what the first priority is, and make a plan, so we can help each other when needed. Working together, we are able to divide and conquer and avoid unmanageable workload.
Rachelle's Feedback
This sounds like an excellent way to divide the work. Nicely done!
"When I have a large workload, I will discuss the project with my teammates. From there, we sort our priorities, estimate the time we will need, and disperse the work. Working together, we can divide and conquer, avoiding an unmanageable workload."
