Answer example, "There are many behind the scenes superhero tasks that Personal Assistants accomplish on a daily basis. One of the more challenging is managing the schedules of multiple people who all have very full plates. To do this, I often have to move things around and weigh priorities to make sure critical needs are met/addresses in a timely fashion."

Think about an out of the box task you completed for someone. Or, think about a project you were asked to complete that required a lot of research. The interviewer wants to hear that you took the initiative to problem solve and dominate the request. Share what task you were given, and explain your positive reaction upon hearing the request. Discuss how you eagerly took on the task as well as what steps you took to complete the request. Finally, be sure to mention the positive outcome that you had!
