How do you prioritize when each task demands your attention?
Share your best practices for organizing your day. It can be difficult when everything on your to-do list needs to happen that same day and you know you will not have the ability to get it all done. How do you handle these situations? Explain your method. It could sound similar to this:
1) Make a list.
2) Identify urgency.
3) Ask yourself, "How important is it that I get this done now?"
4) Ask yourself, "How much effort will this take?"
5) Be flexible.
6) Be willing to set aside less important tasks.
If you don't already have a method for prioritizing, start thinking about it before your interview. Consider some ways that might be helpful for you going forward.
"How important is it that I get this done now?"

I'm good at time management; I organize my task diligently. In my previous role as a loan closer, I kept a planner or used a task scheduler app with all my work and even color coded them. That way I knew what task needed to be done first. These techniques are very effective because I never miss any deadlines at work. I plan to use these skills in my new career opportunity as well.
