This question is aimed at making sure you are not only willing to work independently but have the strategies to do so. When employees are working independently, the company must be able to trust that those they bring on board are able to work without direct supervision.

For this question, it is okay if you provide broader planning strategies that cover all three time periods, rather than different planning strategies for each. It is important that you ensure whatever strategy you present is viable for travel, however, if the role requires it.

Do not present one strategy that would not work for all three time periods. If you are going to suggest a weekly planner, for example, you will need to then present other suggestions for daily and monthly planning.

"I like to use the calendar app on my phone and iPad to plan my schedule. I'm able to incorporate my notes, attach paperwork if necessary and set reoccurring reminders for meetings. I can look at the view for the day, the week, or the month and move things from day to day as needed!"

Great! It sounds like you have a good process in place for planning your time. Do you also plan out how to meet your sales targets over the course of a month (or longer)? Your response shows that you are very organized on a daily basis; how do you manage things longer term?
