      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      Time management is a skill that takes experience and fine-tuning. As you learn to prioritize your daily tasks and use tools and tricks to help focus your attention, you become more effective with your time. It helps to understand your weaknesses and what types of environments aid in your productivity. Some people work better late at night, while others prefer early morning shifts.

      The interviewer wants to know that you can handle the workload required in this position and will not become overwhelmed when workloads increase. When workloads increase, stress levels do too. How do you react?

      2nd Answer Example

      "When I have a large workload, I do not stress over the tasks in front of me. Rather, I make a simple plan of which tasks are a high priority and which are a lower priority. The higher priority tasks I complete first. Through this system, I can focus on my tasks individually rather than stress out by the multitude of tasks ahead of me. Additionally, if there is anything in my workload that I can delegate, I will be sure to do so."

      "In my current job, I frequently encounter a larger than average workload. Possessing excellent time management skills is essential to success. Honestly, I'm not sure that that is something that can be taught. My mind sees ten moves ahead, and I quickly prioritize tasks in the order that makes sense and keeps the workday moving efficiently."
