"During my career, I have developed the ability to effectively multitask. I was recently required to complete several network security tests, application upgrades and staff evaluations in a relatively short period of time. I created a plan which enabled me to allot the appropriate amount of time to each project daily. I was able to easily accommodate the changing priorities and urgencies of the projects by remaining flexible to changing my schedule when it was necessary. I also looked for ways to combine tasks, such as assigning a software upgrade to one of the staff as part of their evaluation. The result was that each project was completed successfully and effectively."

"My job has always involved managing multiple projects and tasks concurrently. I have found that the key to this is determining the relative importance of each task and weighing this against how critical it is. I then allot enough time for each task to ensure it is completed accurately and on time. This system also helps me identify which tasks can either be eliminated or delegated."
