Give us an example of a time you juggled several projects at once with competing deadlines.

Emphasize the importance you place on this part of the role. Make your example recent and relevant to the times in an ever-changing playing field.
"I've developed a solid communication coordination system where I am in touch with all of our department heads to see their progress and where they are in meeting their goals. Some days, it feels like a day at the races, watching the ever-changing scoreboard of who's racing ahead and who's falling behind. Recently, we had four deadlines approaching at once. Then, one department got sick. We didn't have enough resources to pull from other departments, so we considered outsourcing. Instead, we sent techs into our employees' homes and got them set up to work remotely. We met that deadline."
Keep it relevant and recent. This is part of the job. Use examples that are topical challenges the industry is facing and explain how you face those challenges in a way that exemplifies your problem-solving skills.
