When responding to this question, avoid saying you 'wing it' or do not have a system in place to prioritize your work. If the interviewer feels you may be disorganized and cannot meet project deadlines, they may pass you over for another candidate who appears more organized.

"I use an online scheduling program to organize my projects. I input each project deadline and the tasks that need to be accomplished each day, and the program prioritizes the order they need to be completed. Every morning, I look at my schedule to see what needs to be worked on that day. It has been a great tool for keeping me organized and on task, and I have never missed a deadline."
