How would you describe your organizational skills?

Organization is an important skill for a producer to have, since they are responsible for juggling multiple stories at a time, as well as keeping track of the work they must finish before showtime. The candidate should demonstrate that they are well suited to juggle multiple tasks at once on a tight deadline, and keep track of future events and stories.

Not only is a hiring manager looking for a producer who manages their time well, but also can organize a show in terms of the flow of stories that follow one another. A producer knows the most fluent way for a show format to run, based on topics in that day's newscast or show, and organizing the order in which they follow is a talent that a hiring manager looks for.
