Prioritizing
“What is your process for setting priorities?”
- “I am a multitasker and have no problem with several projects
going on at the same time. I am constantly prioritizing and
adjusting projects to make sure that the most urgent projects
are dealt with first. I also have established a reputation as
a person who knows how to get things done,so I can negotiate
a deadline if needed and the other person will feel confident
that I will honor my commitment.”
- “When I worked as a support person for the sales team, this
was one of my biggest challenges, keeping everyone satisfied
or at least not dissatisfied. I start the day with a list of
the tasks I have to accomplish and put them in the order of
how each might affect service. If a customer has a problem,
I try to deal with that as quickly as possible. I am very customer–service-oriented
and always make sure the customer comes first. I also consider
the internal needs such as executives or managers who need their
priorities dealt with. I have worked with great teams, and we
have been there for one another when priorities collided.”
- “I actually like working in a fast-paced environment where
there is a need to prioritize and juggle projects. I usually
work with the hottest buttons first and then set a schedule
to meet required deadlines. Some of the more ‘back burner’projects
get worked in as time allows. But I review those projects on
a weekly basis so they don’t get forgotten.Overall I would rate
myself high as a person who can do many things at the same time
and still meet deadlines.”
